207 Squadron Royal Air Force Association No.7 Squadron Royal Naval Air Service No.207 Squadron Royal Air Force Members' Memorial Book

The 207 Squadron Royal Air Force Roll of Honour, which lists those who died in whilst serving on No.7 Squadron RNAS or No.207 Squadron Royal Air Force, was deposited and dedicated in Leicester Cathedral on Sunday 5th November 1989. It was updated in 2001. It is in a glass topped case in the south aisle of the Cathedral, beneath the Squadron's original Standard which was laid up there on Sunday 14th October 1984. View it via the Roll images link on the left of your screen.

Research for the Roll was done by Raymond Glynne-Owen, whose uncle completed a tour on the Squadron and was killed whilst instructing on an OTU. The calligraphy was by Mrs Vivien Holmes.

In August 1993 a Members' Memorial Book was published in booklet form by the late AVM David Dick, which also included POWs and Evaders. That has been complemented in this on-line version by information from the Appendices of the Squadron History, Always Prepared by John Hamlin.

These pages list both aircrew and groundcrew who, whilst serving with 207 Squadron or 7(N) Sqn RNAS, died on active service, those who were prisoners of war (pow) and those who evaded capture (evd). As No.7(A) Sqn RNAS operated alongside its parent No.7(N) Sqn RNAS until December 1917, the two casualties suffered by 7(A) have been included.

It is presented alphabetically and is searchable. The on-line format at present is surname, rank, forenames, age if known, and aircraft serial number of the aircraft involved, if applicable. The aircraft serial number can be used to search the website for any others aboard, usually but not always members of the same crew.

For those who died, the name is linked to their Commonwealth War Grave Commission record. Where available links will in due course be added to other information pages relevant to a name.

The Post 207 Cas page lists Squadron members who died in service after leaving the Squadron.

The Post RAF RIP page lists Association Members and known Squadron survivors who have died since leaving the Service.
