Acklington 1940 Wing Commander H J Pringle
Hi,
I am trying to help a friend, so I thought I would ask in this forum. As there is much experience here. Please can anyone confirm if W/Cmdr H. J. Pringle was the Station Cammander of Acklington during 1940? Would anyone happen to have any knowledge about him, service information etc? Thank you very much in advance Last edited by Mr Schmitt; 19th February 2021 at 23:00. Reason: Error in place name |
