F/Sgt John Manning
Royal Air Force 61 Squadron
from:Havering
My father, John Manning, served as a Flight Sergeant/Air Gunner on 61 Squadron, flying Lancasters based at Skellingthorpe, an airfield shared with 50 Squadron at that time.
Dad had a roll-out picture taken (he thinks) at the end of the war with aircrew of both squadrons sitting on the wings of a Lancaster. This photo was unfortunately lost when my sister died, as she had been looking after it.
Dad is, thank God, still with us and still very sharp, but he misses his photograph. Has anyone out there got a copy they can scan?
