Flt.Sgt. William Thomas "Pip" Piper
Royal Air Force Novic Flt. 433 Sqn.
from:Abbertillery
My grandfather Flight Sergeant William Thomas Piper flew with the Novic Crew in 433 Squadron based at Skipton upon Swale. The crew completed a tour of missions with the pilot and navigator receiving a DFC and the rest of the crew were Mentioned in Dispatches.
He joined the RAF at the start of the war in 1939 and was there until the end of the war. He is still in contact with 2 members of his crew from the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Needless to say we are very proud of our grandfather and all those who gave so much for peace and freedom.
