Sgt. Leonard Thomas Evans
My father Leonard Thomas Evans served as a Fitter Armourer in the RAF from 1941 - 1945. I do not have his service number. I know he was stationed at various RAF camps such as Hutton Cranswick, during the war. I am asking is that I am the eldest of his large family & they wish to know what there is about his time in the RAF during the war. As I am now 79 years old I have very little to tell them and would like to know his service number to find out where he actually served.Kaye Wood
Plutowny Jan Bronislaw Zacharkiewicz DoH. No. 305 (Greater Poland) Squadron (d.16 February 1987)
Jan Zacharkiewicz was my father, he was married in St Anne's Cathedral, Leeds on 16th of August 1943 to my Mum, Thelma Joyce Mortimer. The wedding certificate lists his address at that time as Hutton Cranswick, near Beverley, thus RAF Hutton Cranswick where he was stationed. He had also been stationed at RAF Church Fenton near Tadcaster.Stefan Zachary
