Sqd.Ldr. Peter S.Q. "Andy" Andersen . Royal Air Force My father, Squadron Leader Peter S.Q.Andersen (often known as Andy), was a prisoner no 46 (I believe) in Stalag Luft III. His plane exploded over Northern Holland and all his crew were killed: it seems the explosion
separated the cockpit in which he sat from the rest of the plane. He was
rescued by the Dutch but had to be handed over to the Germans eventually
because he was badly burned. He was in Stalag Luft III for the duration of
the war. I was born in June 1942 but my mother died in childbirth. For
various reasons I have only recently started to look into his war experiences. He became a test pilot after the war and was killed in 1951, in Texas, while seconded to the USAF and flying a F89C Northrop Scorpion (which I have learned were notorious for its wings folding up!). Any info about him would be very gratefully received.

AC2. Alexander Howick Anderson . Royal Air Force 24 OTU from Southend On Sea My Grandad Alexander Anderson was assigned to 24 OTU on 27th of September 1941 and then moved to 13 OTU on 9th November 1941. He later served with RAF Maintenance Units 119, 117, 357, 24 moving from Iraq, North Africa and to Sicily. I'm told he enjoyed the company of the American servicemen but hated flies!
His trade was as a gas fitter. He really loved mathematics as a hobby and would take my Dad's homework to do it himself. Once, my Dad's maths teacher said to him: "Tell your Dad he's done very well." I don't remember any stories my Grandad told about WW2 but I'm keen to find out more about his service if possible. He survived the war and died in the 1980s.
