World War Two / Re: 652 AOP Squadron RAF * RA

Hi Matt. I have just re-started researching this topic, and was amazed to see your recent post. I'd be very happy to share 'The Liberation' with you. I have been trying to track down the official 652 Sqdn Historian (if such a thing exists), but it's not an easy task. If you could help with that, it would be great, as I'd love to contribute this to the Squadron history.
Regards
Phil

I have come into possession of a document titled ‘The Liberation’ that I think may be of interest to some who have been contributing to this thread. I've attached a scan of the front cover.
It is described as:
The Liberation is an attempt to provide a memory of the operations of the 1st British Corps from D day to the river Maas. The views are as we saw them and will remember them.
Cobley (Signature – hard to make out)
Major, R.A.
Officer Commanding
652 (AOP) Squadron, R.A.F.
It contains 26 square period photographs covering the following topic – and others:
The first A.O.P. ALG in Normandy.
Time devoted to reconnaissance is seldom wasted. Caption Bawden returns with replacement
aircraft from England
B.4. Beny-sur-Mer Ducks and Daks.
Ranville. Pegasus at home
Pegasus alights
D.F. Fire. 51 Div. St. Honorine La Chardonarette
Carpiquet Aerodrome
La Bijude
"Mustang” grazing (downed aircraft)
I've been trying to do some research on the 652, and came across this thread.
Please let me know if you'd like any more details. I'd love to learn more about this.
