Seeking info on P/O Roi Leonard Saunders KIA May 22nd 1940
Hello Everyone,
I'm currently doing some research on the crew of 57 Sqn Blenheim L9184, shot down at Haucourt, France on 22nd May 1940. The Pilot was P/O Roi Leonard Saunders; his service number is given as 70602 on the CWGC website, and yet his AIR78 entry (AIR78/140 pge 468) specifies 800420. References to an 'R L Saunders' can be found in 'Flight' on July 20th 1939 and November 9th 1939, under the RAFVR Admin & Special Duties Branch heading, being promoted first to P/O, the F/O with honorary F/Lt rank. Can anyone help to clarify when this Officer was commissioned? whether he was RAFVR or not? whether I'm dealing with another officer with the same initials in the 'Flight' entries quoted above? and where the AIR78 number comes from? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ian
