A mystery inscription
« on: Wednesday 19 August 09 14:14 BST (UK) »
My family has a small silver dish that we believe somehow beloned to my grandfather. It was- we think  - from Thornaby Aerodrome
It bears the inscription -
to Officers 608 squadron from
PDOV Dec 1941

Has anyone any idea what PDOV is or was?

Hi and welcome to RootsChat

I haven't found out who or what PDOV is (I wondered if it was a person), but I've spent a fascinating half hour looking at the history of 608 squadron  :D
