AC1. Edwin Orchard
Royal Air Force 101 Squadron
from:West Morden, Dorset
It would appear that Eddy Orchard tried to join up six mounths early, as his record shows he was signed up in December 1941 but was released until July 1942.
He has two neptune certificates so I assume that he crossed the equator twice. I would love to hear about him some more. Sadly, he has passed over now, but as his son-in-law I found him to be a quiet man. He leaves three daughters and is sadly missed.
