Bessie "Betty" Farey
Women's Auxiliary Air Force 625 Sqdn.
On browsing this site with my mother, Bessie 'Betty' Farey, who was in the WAAFs at Kelstern, 625 Squadron we came across William Bates story. My mother married my dad, who was a rear gunner in Q Lancaster, 625 Squadron at RAF Kelstern, Jim 'Paddy' Law on St Patricks Day, 17th March 1945 in Bradford West Yorkshire and William Bates was their best man. Is the William Bates on this site the same William Bates and if so can you get in touch with us? We would be delighted to hear from you. Also anyone else stationed at Kelstern 1942 to 1945, we would love to share some memories.
