F/Lt. Frank William Cook AFC.
Royal Air Force No.6 Maintenance Unit
from:Freeland, Oxfordshire
My grandfather, Frank Cook, was posted to 1427 Flight at Stradishall for a short period between 28th of November 1942 and 11th of December 1942. He flew 3 different Short Stirling planes during that period. The First Officer for the early flights was P/O Dawe and then he was First Officer for his last flight.
He then returned to 6 MU in Brize Norton where he continued flying a multitude of planes, mostly Spitfires in this time frame.
He died in about 1979.
