Our father, William Quin joined the Royal Air Force (Service No. 624631) in October of 1938. We are in the process of putting together a short history of this part of his life.

We only have a few records of where he served, but it seems he did some time in Hednesford, Staffordshire, and we have records for his service with the 107th MU serving overseas in Palestine and Egypt from December 1944 to November 1945. If any of these faces are familiar to you, or you can help to fill in the (many) blanks please let us know.
