LAC. Alfred Broyden "Pop" Birch
Royal Air Force 214 Squadron
from:Manchester
My father was Alfred Birch. He served in the Heavy Conversion Unit attached to 214 Squadron at Stradishall and Chedburgh. He was a ground crew member and was a L.A.C. He was also in some way attached to the US Army Air Corps as he told me of the horrific things he saw which had happened to the American fliers. I don't know if there are any personnel alive who remember him or if any pictures of him there exist. He was one of the oldest on the base and was given the nickname Pop because of his age.
