My uncle served with 78 squadron while based at Linton on Ouse in 1943 at the same time as 76 squadron. Both squadrons have had recent reunions for surviving veterans and relatives. We visited the Yorkshire Air Museum as part of the weekend of events, and got to explore the inside of a reconstructed Halifax bomber. The memorial room at Linton on Ouse has photos of all the squadrons that were based there.
In their down time the air crew of 76 and 78 squadrons were thought to have been billeted to Beningbrough Hall or Aldwark Manor while at Linton on Ouse, in case of airfield attacks by the Luftwaffe.
