Hi,

Following the previous success with S/Ldr Philipsen. Looking for PRE August 1943 details on Squadron Leader Edward Creighton Fyson 40103. Any help much appreciated.

Chaz.

From Google it looks like he was in India in the late 1930s, but details of that as well as a couple of other postings are on the RAFweb site and I don't have a password...sorry!

I'm sure someone with access can help you.

Regards

Simon

Interesting he went from Mohawks to his final flight on a Stirling.

So are we saying,
he was born in India, back to UK for schooling/college, and back to India for his SSC. He prangs a Mowhawk at Dum Dum 18 Jan 42. "They" decide he should become a 'bus-driver', where he cops it in Europe 4 Feb 44. What was he up to in those 2 years? I would have thought there was a greater need for qualified pilot aircrew (of whatwever type/ability) in the FE than in Europe at the time?
I am beginning to get a feeling in my water that there is more to this one than meets the eye???
I shall keep a beady eye on this thread!!

Gents,

Thank you all for your posts. He joins 620 as a Flight Commander. I have used up my allowance with RoS. But next year his will be the first I order.
