'O'Dono'

Thank you Paul

Dono seems a slightly more common surname than O'Dono which is very rare. I suspect the answer may lie in either

WO 268/338 98 Coy. RASC Hong Kong Quarterly Historical reports for 01 January 1949 to 30 September 1949 or
WO 268/333 53 Supply Depot RASC Hong Kong Quarterly Historical reports for 01 April 1949 to 30 June 1949

Another two to add to my list for when normality returns. I shall report any findings.

Thanks

Chris

Hello Chris

The son of Group Captain John Norman Jefferson has asked me to research his father's RAF career. You mention you have a photograph of the crew of the Sunderland involved in the Yangtze Incident. Would it be possible to send a copy to me by email please. rmp2@sky.com
