J.A. CAMPBELL, MID-UPPER GUNNER
IN 463 SQUADRON, RAAF, AND 61 SQUADRON, RAF
We are grateful to J A Campbell for permitting
us to reproduce his personal account of his wartime experiences in
full.
This fascinating narrative covers his training
in Canada and the UK and focuses on his tour of operations on the
Lancaster. His memoirs span 14 OTU at RAF Cottesmore, RAF Saltby,
1654 HCU at RAF Wigsley, training at RAF Fulbeck and then operations
on 61 Sqn RAF from RAF Syerston and 463 Sqn RAAF from RAF Waddington
before posting back to the training sytem after completing his
operational tour.

Welcome to RAF-Lincolnshire.info. This privately-owned
site is dedicated to preserving the memory of all those Lincolnshire
locations associated with military aviation and those who served
on them.
In addition to a comprehensive history of each station
and facility, and of the squadrons' time in the county, RAF-Lincolnshire.info
aims providing
a portal to all other specialist
websites
and
action groups who care about the heritage and legacy of the Royal
Flying Corps and Royal Air Force units and squadrons.
The site focuses on the Second World War
but spans the
history of the RAF and its military aviation precursors from
the dawn of manned military aviation to the present day. See the history page
for an overview. The
site costs hard cash to host professionally - why not donate as
little as 20p to keep it going?
