LAC Donald Hugh "Skeeter" Shilling

Royal Canadian Air Force No. 407 (Demon) Squadron

from:Toronto, Ontario, Canada

My father, Donald Shilling, was a rigger in 407 Squadron from its inception until 1944 when he was sent home after suffering from scarlet fever. He was well liked by one of the crew skippers, Kim Abbot, author of 'A Gathering of Demons', who gave my Dad an honourable mention in his book.

I too proudly served in 407 Squadron as an armorer, or in my day we were known as weapons technicians air, from 1970 until 1974. What a great squadron.
