hi kyt.-Doing research re two members of 630 Sqdrn East Kirkby. S/Ldr Clifford Rogers DFC ,Pilot, & F/Sgt William E J Cox DFM Flight Engineer.Both in the same crew.
Is it possible to trace both citations as they may have been awarded for the same action. They both survived a tour with 630, I understand, but Bill Cox went to 1654 HCU at RAF Wigsley. He was a Staff Flight Engineer flying with a u/t Engineer in a Stirling aircraft LJ630 which crashed shortly after take off .There were no survivors.
31/08/1944.
A crew photograph of Cliff Rogers ,including Bill Cox, would be fantastic.

I have a fair collection books on the Commonwealth Air Forces for the WW2 period and if anyone would like any assistance, or a look up, please ask. For example (just a sample):

Honour The Air Forces - a complete register of all gallentry awards to RAF and Commonwealth airmen (except MiD) with date, unit and LG reference

Bomber Command and Fighter Command Losses of WW2

A number of squadron histories

Unsung Heroes - a register of all RAF etc POWs in the Far East

Several books on the RAF in the Far East (an area that is particularly difficult to research for airmen casualties)

etc

Just thought I'd mention it
