| No.10 Squadron ORB Details needed | Hi, just bought 10 Squadron ORB for September 1940 for my own research from the National Archives, 76 pages, superb value for this month. Below is all the mentions to Hickling flying Ops in September 1940.....
Sgt Hickling flew in Whitley P4952 on Ops on 14th/15th September 1940 as 2nd pilot with P/O Prior, Sgt White, Sgt Davis and Sgt Gardiner.
Sgt Hickling flew in Whitley P4952 on Ops on 17th/18th September 1940 as 2nd pilot with Prior, White, Davis and Gardiner.
In Whitley P4952 again on Ops on 20th/21st September 1940 as 2nd pilot, same crew. Aircraft hit by flak in the tail but crew returned to base. Damage must have been slight.
He flew in P4952 on Ops on 22nd/23rd September 1940, same crew.
and in P4994 on 24th/25th September 1940, same crew.
in T4178 on 27th/28th September 1940, same crew.
in P4946 on 30th September / 1st October 1940, same crew.
Prior was one Garfield Wallace Prior RAFVR (37611), I have not IDed the other three as yet.
Hope this helps, looks like he was posted to 10 Sqn in early September 1940 ? Regards Rich Allenby ....Read More. | Rich Allenby on 6th May 2012 06:27:05 |
