213672 Sgt. George Oscar Perrot MID RNZAF 99 Squadron RAF from:Masterton The following is paraphrased from a letter written by Flying Officer George Oscar Perrot, addressed to Officer Commanding, No.2 (B.R.) Squadron, dated 9th August 1944. "I left New Zealand on the 27th July 1939 in charge of a draft of wireless operators, to proceed to the United kingdom in order to fly Wellington aircraft to New Zealand. (At that time I was a Wireless Operator Mechanic.) On arrival in England I was posted to No.99 (Bomber) Squadron, and served in this unit from 1st. September 1939 until August 1941. I was not at any time on the Headquarters strength of any station, but served as NCO in charge of all squadron aircraft radio equipment under adverse conditions due to enemy action, and later as NCO in charge of WO/AG's in the equivalent position of the Signals Leader of today. No.99 Squadron was engaged on operations throughout this whole period, and a detached flight operated from a base in France during the first six months of 1940. Although I originally left New Zealand as a potential aircrew wireless operator, I was only engaged on Non-Operational flying during my tour of duty with the Squadron."
