AC2c J. G. Savin, died/killed ? 22nd October 1941, 797 Sqn(?)

[Alex Smart]

Hello,

Seeking info on the death of AC2c J.G.Savin, date given is 22nd October, 1941.
Squadron is given as 797.

797 Sqn FAA was not existing in 1941. So was there an RAF squadron with that number ?

Thanks for any details

Alex

Be better to try place answers on that old thread to avoid diluting it.

Hi Alex

It would have been 797 (Defence) Sqn at North Luffenham, which became No 2797 Sqn RAF Regiment in 1942
