Just two of the many,many Wigan war heros,Syd Horton [L]of Whelley and Bob Parkinson of Aspull ;R] who served in the RAF,bomber command at Elsham Wolds Lincs.On returning from a "sortie", had to abandon their LANKY in the NE of occupied France , they arrived back in UK two weeks later having crossed the channel in the freezer of a fishing vessel. Heros one and all.
In the Morris Family part in the People section of this Album, there are 2 photos of Wigan student in Mesnes Park. Two of these went into the R.A.F in the war. Cyril Johnson was a pilot, & I think he served in the Middle East.My brother was a Flight Lieutenant in repair & maintainance (he was taught to fly so that he could test flight his own repairs). Brian has a copy of his autobiography.
Hi, We are researching World War Two with Local Memories and would like to use the photograph and information in our research book which is to be printed.
