WO. Thomas Toner
Royal Air Force 210 Sqn
from:Newry
My Uncle was Warrant Officer Thomas Toner 1143471 (WOP/AG) Wireless Operator Air Gunner.
I have his service record details that show he served with 190 Sqn from 2 June 1943 until then getting posted into 210 Sqn on 25 April 1944.
Sadly I have no photographs of him serving at any units or stations. I only have the information on him that was passed on from the RAF Disclosures unit based at RAF Cranwell. I would like to make a plea on the off chance that anyone reading this little synopsis has any information or photographs of Thomas if you could share it either on this site or get in touch with me.
What I do know is that he was on active service and was a member of the crew of a 210 Sqn Catalina involved in torpedoing and sinking a German U Boat.
At this stage I haven't recovered the local newspaper report that he submitted of the event.
