Hello Gents,

I'm after the first names of the following two IAF pilots:

F/O S.A. HUSSAIN (Ind/1706)

F/O H.S. MOOLGAVKAR (Ind/1644)

Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance

Phil

Is this related to No.20 Squadron RAF?

Hi,

None of the two mentioned pilots are related to 20 Sqn in this case. Moolgavkar was serving with 4 Sqn, IAF by January 1945 and Hussain with 8 Sqn, IAF by November 1944.

Thanks Phil.

As it happens, both have a connection earlier as they flew with No.20 Squadron RAF - sometime around late 1941 or so when they were on Audaxes.
