World War Two / Re: Air Force Lookups - if you need help
« on: Monday 12 July 10 00:24 BST (UK)  »
I'm attempting to find details of my father's activities in the RAF from the beginning of the second world war and would appreciate any help.
His Name is William Edwin Mulford - service number 37202. He was posted to 50 squadron in late 1939 with the rank of Flight Lieutenant. I would be interested in knowing what he flew, who were his crew and what missions he went on. He was promoted to Squadron Leader in December 1940.
He was posted to 431 squadron in late 1942 and was KIA in June 1943.
Any information would be appreciated.

I would like to correct your last post. My father's (S/Ldr Mulford) plane was shot down over Holland and did not crash in the sea. The remains of the plane were recovered in the early 90's and all four crew members not already found were buried together in the CWGC site at Bergen-op-Zoom. The rear gunner was the only crew member initially found. All five crew are now together in the same location.

Here is a picture with my father and crew in front of an aircraft. Would appreciate identification of all - I presume the aircraft is a Hampden. I have asked my brother if he has any pictures to send me and when he does I will post them.

Once more thanks for all the help

Thanks for all the information posted so far.
I should apologise for not including either father's name or number in my first post but there are some clever people out there!

Can anyone tell me what aircraft were flown by 50 and 58 squadrons? I have a phorograph that I will scan and include later that shows a crew of four standing in front of an aircraft. Of course the only person I know is father.

The information provided on his flight with 50 is useful to me as I was born three weeks later with my birth registered in Gainsborough. At the time we were living in North Scarle.

Thanks to all .... hope to get more too!
