Kyt  sorry I forgot to add that I am looking for any informatin at all on P/O Smith who flew a Lancaster from Tudddenham, particularly on the day of HK610's crash, he took off 7 minutes before HK610. 2nd February 1945
Thanks Yekepa

Good lord.  Tuddenham is literally just down the road from here.... I kennel my dog there! Another coincidence that they were at Honington where I live in 1957!
Cant help you with crew details but Kyt can do that when hes available.  However re 90 Sqn it will be either a Lancaster I or III.  If you contact the RAF Museum at Hendons archivist's (there is a link on their site) they may be able to give you copies of the a/c engineering information (cant promise anything) and they are really busy so it might well take some time...
Is P/O Smith a relative?  if he is might be worth getting his service record...

Hello

I am trying to trace somebody who was in the Equipment branch 1938-1947  P Barlow 31420 any idea how I can trace
where he served and what he did?

Look forward to hearing from you, if you have the time.

Regards

[DeeBoneham]

You can put a request in for his service records.  Heres a link on which you might find information:

Not sure whether he was Safety Equipment or what we now call a Supplier but if you get his record it will tell you where and when.  If you do get it then come back to either here or www.rafcommands.com/forum for more information.

Hi Kyt, Bill from Glasgow here.
I dont know if you can be of assistance to me but i thought i would ask anyway.
I am trying to track down information on a Radar Station in Malta in WW2.
My Late Father served on the RAF Ames 504 Radar Station on Dingli Cliff Malta from 1940 till 1943 as a   Radio Direction Finding ( RDF ) Operator , Otherwise known as Radar.
I have been trying to find the location of this Radar Unit on Malta for almost 2 yrs as there appears to be a somewhat shortage of info on this Station.
I have also been trying to locate a military map of Malta as well to see if that can be of any help.
Kyt, Any assistance or advice on this would be most welcome.
I am a rootschat member bill 247.
  Thank you very much for your time.
                    Bill.
