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? Webmaster |
