207 SQUADRON ROYAL AIR FORCE HISTORY

GROUNDCREW IN 1961-63, VALIANT ERA

Groundcrew are usually not listed by name in the Unit Returns or Monthly Amendment Lists (Form 449).

There are records of 207 Squadron deployments to its dispersal airfield, Cranwell for KINSMAN exercises during the period 1961-63. Later such exercises are less productive of names following the advent of Centralised Servicing.

The surname alphabetical order list below is derived from such records:

names, roles and ranks are recorded as at their first occurrence, so do not reflect promotions

where a name was first recorded without initials, these have been added if provided in a later record

in some cases the role cannot be read fully in the page images of the original records photographed by the editor and will need completion on a further visit. Original records vary in legibility.

there may be errors of transcription, and in the originals

Please contact the editor, Frank Haslam: -

if you are mentioned on this page or know someone who is - even better if you are in touch with them

or can add first names for anyone shown here

or think you should be listed but you are not
