Thank you. I had only found the first of these references. The post-war appointments / promotions refer to his part time work with the Air Training Corps. I wonder if there are any further records or recollections of the missions he flew during the war.

Hi, your father flew approximately 12 operations with 166 squadron as a Wireless Operator/Air Gunner in the crew of F/Sgt Mayhew. First op was minelaying 27/01/43 and last was Essen 12/03/43. I would guess that he flew other operations probably with 150 squadron at the end of 1943. If you care to email me on mjc41uk@yahoo.co.uk I may be able to assist further. B
