Sgt. William James Perry 83 Squadron My late Father, William Perry was operational with 83 Sqn PFF from September 1944 after being posted from 49 Squadron at Fiskerton. I do not have a lot of detail but I do have my Father's flying logs which show all operations (including those with 49 Sqn) flown under F/O Roderick Neville Periera.
My Father survived the war and remained in the Royal Air Force until 1st October 1968. All but the final two years as Aircrew. He passed away in June 2008 aged 89.

Sgt. G W A White 576 Squadron Sergent G. White served with the Royal Air Force initially with 78 Squadron flying in Halifax aircraft on Raids to Kiel, Berlin and Stuttgart to name a few.
He was then moved over to 576 Squadron where he made various operations including Bremen to bomb an oil plant, Hamburg to bomb submarine yards, and took part in raids where the Admiral Scheer was sunk on a raid to Kiel on the 9th of April 1945 and later that month with an operation to Berchtesgaden where Hitler used to go to as a sort of holiday home on the 25th of April 1945.
White flew to the end of the war supply dropping in Rotterdam for 'Operation Manna' on VE day and continued transporting P.O.Ws througout the month.
After the war White continued to fly with the Air Force 50 Squadron taking part in Post Mortom 1, 2 and 3 which was all about testing German radar equipment.
