A Message from Alan Etheridge dated 20th July 2009

​

"My brother Steve asked me to drop you a line re photos of my late father during his time with 454 squadron.

 

It has taken some time to sort out, from quite a large number of pictures, just which ones may be relevant to 454 as he also served with 249 squadron, however I think I may have identified those that may be of interest.

 

I feel sure that he must have brought over his album when he last attended a reunion, so I will be surprised if any of these are anything new to you. Although, to my knowledge none of them currently appears on the site.

 

Browsing your website I have not been able to find any reference to several of the names of his comrades, although I feel sure you will have a more detailed list of those that served with the squadron.

 

As there are about eighteen pictures I will send them in three emails in order that they download quicker. One will contain a word document which accompanies a group photo of  sixteen men.

 

I hope these may of interest and some use to you.

 

With the very best regards from all the Etheridge family,

 

Alan Etheridge."
