Alex Davidson, George's Nephew-in-law writes: "I am researching my own and my wifes family history and her uncle George Alexander Croall was the pilot that was lost on February 24 1943 off the Dutch coast.   It says in the 188 Sqn history "North Sea Action"---- These could however be costly as on February 24 when F/Sgt Creal (should be CROALL ) was lost off the Dutch coast and F/Sgt Buglass ditched his Spitfire EN 969."   We have the letters that were sent to his parents etc and a photograph of George with his plane as just before he was killed he was given authority to display the crest of his home town, Barrow in Furness on the side of his Spitfire.   It consists of a photo-graph of him on the wing of his aircraft,plus a copy of the telegram to his parents informing them that he is missing, a letter dated 25 February 1943 from Flight Lieutenant Commanding No 118 Squadron, (looks like L Vewhery ) at R A F Coltishall, and another letter from the Record Office Gloucester dated 15 April 1943 signed R Williamson Air Commodore Air Officer ic Records.   Both these letters explain that George was sent with another pilot to attack an objective in enemy territory Manniston Burt/Zond Canal and the other aircraft was damaged by anti aircraft fire.   On returning home George was concerned about his leader's plight so he flew underneath the other aircraft to observe the damage and at around 200 feet in bad weather his starboard wing hit the sea causing the aircraft to dis-integrate and plunge into the sea.   My mother in law (George's sister ) has always told us that George should have been on leave at the time of his death but he had requested a later date so that he could be off at the same time as his step-brother Robert.   We also have details of the Minute Book of the Council at Barrow in Furness Lancashire,George's home town granting permission for him to put the towns Coat of Arms on his aircraft, I wonder if this was requested by George as Barrow had recently had a number of bombing raids due to the Submarine and Ship building yards at Vickers."

His name was Flight Lieutenant James J. Devan. He died in 1963, when we were stationed in Singapore. Is there any record of him (us) being there? If so... do you know who was he working for and what was he doing? Thanks to the web, I have managed to discover a lot about my father and his war-time activities as a Flight Engineer with Thunderbirds, 426 Squadron. He didn't tell my mother anything about them, and she died 23 years ago, completely unaware of his wartime experiences. I found his pilot, W.C. Bill Swetman, a Canadian, alive and well and living in Ontario. I have kept in touch with him and even accompanied him two weeks ago, to the 426 Squadron reunion in Ottawa.   Although I was born on Feb 3, 1955, I have no idea when my father arrived in Jever and when he (we) left.   I live in Massachusetts, USA now (have done for the past 23 years) and am a dreadful flier, so it may be a while before I manage to visit the resource you mentioned personally and do some research.   Ken Senar remembers him e-mail 24Sep05.

Hanger.  It was loaded with a thunderflash, which made a swift end to it.  It was prior to the sad demise of the BOAC Comet's.  Snowie was a top-scoring pilot on both air to air at Sylt, and air to ground at Meppen Ranges.  He was attached to LECONFIELD for tests using the Sabre radar gunsight to determine the best radar reflector to fit on the flags.  He and I were returned to UK at the same time and we travelled in his sports car via Dover.  This was before RORO ferries and the car was lifted on and off by ships derrick.  We were searched and questioned for 2½ hours, the car had its floorboards taken out and the boot torn apart.  We had to put it back together even though nothing amiss could be found.  I was accused of importing cameras, although the receipts showed they were over two years old.  A nightmare.  Stayed with Snowie and his mother for two nights at Chalfont-St.-Giles.  His girl friend was a stunning film star.  Never got to meet her!  Snowie was killed while flying asymmetric on a Meteor 7 while once more at LECONFIELD(?)"

Notes: Mark his son writes: "I just noticed your website and found my Dad listed there. I've noticed that there is very limited information about him and perhaps I can help you update some of the facts there. Afterall, I'm very proud of my Dad who is the inspiration to me for my own flying. He is in my opinion the finest and most honourable person I have had the pleasure of knowing. I'm sure his time in the Airforce made him into the man he was to become in civilian life. After Dad left the Airforce he returned to NZ with his wife Barbara and started flying as a First Officer on the DC-8's for Air New Zealand. He converted to the DC-10 a few years later, attained the rank of Captain and then Check Captain until Air New Zealand retired their fleet and introduced the B747-400. He converted to that aircraft before taking early retirement from Air NZ in about 1990. At that point he then began flying for Malaysian Airlines where he instructed their pilots in converting to the DC-10. He then returned to New Zealand and gained his rotary wing license before finally retiring from flying in the mid 90's. I'm sure that was a very sad moment for him. He has a lot of stories, I can tell you! He is most proud of a record he set flying the Hunters during an air-ground exercise in which he put 98% of his canon shells into the target. In his logbook, next to that sortie he has logged his score and put in brackets (fluke?). As far as we know, that record still stands. "Dad is in good health."

Ldr.'s Allen and Browne at R.A.F. Jever during the early 1950's.   He was noted for his efforts in acquiring hard to find parts for his beloved F-86E aircraft, from the U.S.A.F. in England.   Lambden was instrumental in bringing some members of the Eigth Air Force Angels aerobatic team based in England, to Sylt and Jever.   He arranged cine dog fights with the Angel team members and 93 "Top guns" Shrubsole, Tann and Al Clovin.   A few light hearted cheers and a lot of hissing from the 93 Pilots went on when the results were shown.   This was due to the use of far superior aircraft and equipment flown by the U.S.A.F.   After leaving the R.A.F. Tony Lambden worked as an actor and a jazz musician.   He acted in many B.B.C. plays and shows, such as Dr. Who, The Avengers, Several comedy shows.   Tony toured with various big bands and singers such as Mel Torme, Ella Fitzgerald and Lena Horne.   At 75 years of age, Tony Lambden has flown to the big jazz concert in the sky.   A memorial meeting was held at a Mayfair night club recently, to celebrate his life in the jazz and entertainment professions.   I unfortunately could not attend, but understand that it was a packed house of celeb's and dignitaries for a very popular gentleman."

Jever Details - Unit/Role Arrived Departed 4 Sqn Flt Cdr. 7Jun58. 31Mar60. Notes: From his Brother Geoff Millward 2(AC) Sqn.   Richard Walter Millward (Dickie) was born in Lambeth South London on 12th of March 1933.   At the start of the Second World War, Dick and his Mother moved to Chichester in Sussex to escape the bombing.   Dick was educated at the Chichester High School for Boys where he eventually won a languages scholarship entry into the Royal Air Force as an Officer Cadet pilot with No 63 Entry, The RAF College Cranwell.   Dick’s first official flight in his RAF career was in January 1953 in a Chipmunk trainer, although his log books show he had already flown over 50 hours with 461 Squadron, the Air Training Corps, as a passenger, by this time.   At the end of his 3 year training, Dick graduated as a Senior Flight Cadet on the 14th December 1954.   As a cadet, he won the Dickson Trophy and the Michel Hill Memorial Prize.   During this period, and throughout his flying career his flying ability was consistently assessed as `above average` and it was no surprise that he was `creamed off` to fly the newly emerging jet fighters.   The normal training route via Operational Conversion Units led him first to fly the Hawker Hunter with 257 and 263 Sqns at RAF Wattisham.   Then, in 1958 he was posted to 4 Sqn at Jever in West Germany, again, flying Hunter Jets.   At the end of this tour his fluency in German led to a post as a NATO fighter tactics advisor to the embryonic West German Air Force, The Luftwaffe.   Flying the Canadian built F86 Sabre Jet with JG71 (Richthofen) Wing at Alhorn, Dick found he was providing fighter tactics advice to none other than Erich Hartmann the highest scoring fighter ace of all time (over 350 kills)!   He and Hartmann, being of like mind, became good friends during this time.   Later in this tour, Dick ejected from an F86 following an engine fire at altitude.   Luckily he was unhurt!   Dick (and new wife Dorothy), returned to the UK in 1962 to a Fighter Development post flying Hunter, Lightning and Javelin fighters for a short while before his fluency in French (as well as German) led to him being selected to attend the French Test Pilots School at Istres in Provence, the first English pilot to do so.   On graduation from Istres, he was posted to Aero Flight at RAE Bedford.   It was here he was able to fly the FD2, BAC221, SC1, HP115 and numerous other experimental aircraft.   He also managed to demonstrate many vintage aircraft of the Shuttleworth Collection – Here he specialised, as ever, in fighters - SE5a, Bristol Fighter, etc.   He was promoted to Squadron Leader in Command of Aero Flight and was awarded the Air Force Cross whilst at Bedford.   In 1969, Dick was posted to a ground tour.   This was not much to his liking and so in November 1970 he left the RAF, having amassed over 6,000 hours flying time, mainly in jet fighters and experimental aircraft.   From 1970 until 1983 Dick had a variety of flying jobs, ranging from demonstrating and selling Britten-Norman Islanders, to proving new locations for civil airports by flying light aircraft into small spaces (London Docklands & Paphos - Cyprus being just two).   For a while, he was employed as an accident investigator with British Airways and he acted as technical advisor for the TV series 'Airline'.   On the 15th April 1983 Dick flew his last official flight.   Sadly, an engine failure on take off led to a nasty crash which destroyed the light aircraft he was flying and broke both his legs.   Whilst in hospital recovering, he developed diabetes and this brought a premature end to his flying.   By this time Dick had more than 11,000 hours as a pilot in over 178 different aircraft types, including Fighters, Bombers, Experimentals, Airliners, Freighters, Hovercraft, Airships and Helicopters.   After such a fantastic career in aviation, he took up a second one in event coordination and management.   He approached this with the same enthusiasm as he did his flying and continued in this profession until his untimely and unexpected death in 1987.   He and Dorothy were on holiday bird watching in Cornwall.   They were at dinner in the hotel and had got to the "Brandy & Cigars" stage when Dick said "My eyes feel funny" - his heart stopped & and he fell from his chair unconcious.   Despite 20 minites of mouth to mouth, CPR etc the staff failed to revive him.   He was aged only 54.

Notes: Erne Lack said that Inge the wife of his friend Hans Appell, who lives in Schortens, knows a chap Hans Böhringer who was the hairdresser at the airfield when I was there, so of course we toddled off to see him and had the most incredible chat together.   Hans knows all the same wild stories that we know, how we pilots got sunburnt bathing in the nude on Sylt, how Group Captain George Ffoulkes Powell-Sheddon stuttered and how his wife Dianne used to tell him (Hans) how nervous she was when her husband was going out to fly   Because he stuttered he would “twitch” with his hand on the handbrake during landing – and he burst both tyres on touchdown!   Eric Pigdon's Notes 23 Nov04.   Powell-Sheddon, Gp Capt, Stn Cdr.   Is mentioned in Battle of Britain books.   Big strong hands fearsome at arm wrestling and schooner races.   Had a stutter.   On rare occasions came to fly with 93 a pilot was detailed to go with him to start the Sabre.   He would not turn finals to land until he had completed his down wind call - he would by then be on his way to Bremen and ATC would give him steers to get him back to base.   A good and well liked Station Boss.   Ken Senar told me 8Apr05 that "Grp. Capt. Powell-Shedden, 'Fo-Fo', died late in 1994.   His obituary appeared in the Daily Telegraph, dated 10/11/94.   I have a copy.   It was he who gave me the nickname 'Pod' in the bar on the night of my arrival at Jever.   Pod 'Papa Oscar Delta' was my unofficial call-sign when I was a GCI controller at Borgentreich/Auenhausen.   I used it to identify myself over the R/T to 93 Sqn pilots when I was controlling them.   The Russian monitoring stations must have wondered what was going on!

And y feet for a pull through which he had discussed with me the previous night as we were bedding down, I said bullshit but Ken had 'worked it out mathematically'.  We were sharing a room at Sylt.  The flags went u/s for Dave Clayton and Ken, then for Pete Phillips and me.  So were dog fighting and tailchasing.  I saw what he was up to and called him air brakes but I reckon he'd blacked out by then and felt nothing as he hit the water.  I had in excess of 8g on the clock and my engine was groaning as were my guts.  Ginger Friend and I sorted his gear.  Brian Watson took his ashes home when he went on leave."   Ken Senar relates:    " Ken died at Sylt when for an unaccountable reason he dived vertically into the sea from a considerable height.  I was stooging around at the time, waiting for my turn to fire on the flag when his Sabre plummeted vertically past me straight into the shallow waters inland of the island and just south of the Hindenburg Damm.  I was being called forward at the time by the tug pilot to go and fire on his drogue so heard no R/T calls at all.  I understand that I wasn't the only one to see what happened.  Next day, on overflying the area, the ASR launch was anchored near a visible hole in the shallow sea bed, and a small oil slick was present.  Larry Milberry's book states that Ken was in a tail chase and was flying XB 937.  The date quoted is October 8th 1954."

Notes: Faith, his wife, tells us: "I saw your copy message in Al's inbox and have to give you sad news as Al died on 31st May, having had prostate cancer for a couple of years.   You can see more about him at www.mylifealready.blog-city.com and more on his heroic fight against cancer and our stand for better treatments at www.prostatecancernow.org .   Al has certainly talked about 'Lofty' with fond memories and has shown me photos.   He was tickled pink to find the website and have contact with you; the war years and his national service have been important memories for him recently.   Al and I loved each other deeply - and still do - and were totally happy together.   It was only 12 years but seems a very intense time when we had a lot of adventures and stunning experiences and never stopped appreciating our good fortune and happiness.   He died peacefully and beautifully with no unfinished business in our local hospice; his funeral was full of love and celebration, helped by a local jazz band.   With very best wishes,   Faith".   Svc No: 2545454. Al told me: "Born 1933 in Barking, Essex.   Attended 11 different schools 1937 - 1948 as we moved around the UK trying to dodge the blitz.   Started work at 15 in a print shop in Stepney Green, then a couple of abortive months with a West End hairdressing salon. After this, I worked in a photographic darkroom printing snapshots for the customers of local chemist shops.   This took me up to National Service. RAF at Hednesford for squarebashing (basic training), St Athan in Wales for trade training as an airframe mechanic and then over to Germany for the remainder of my two years service.   93 Squadron at RAF Jever working on Vampire jets.   After National Service squarebashing at Hednesford I finished up as an airframe mech on 93 squadron's Vampires via trade training at St Athan.   After being inspired by leave-time visits to London jazz clubs, I crept up into the loft of the Jever barrack block to teach myself trumpet.   That accommodation was very well built and quite sound-proofed because not too many fellow airmen investigated to complain about the painful noises.   I shared my double glazed and centrally heated room (luxury thanks to the previous Luftwaffe tenants} with Bob (Lofty) Hope and John Lintott, a pipe-smoking elder statesman who was late doing his National Service.   He had been deferred while serving his apprenticeship with De-Havilland.   He also played the organ at church parade.   I remember that Lofty was a bit of a liability because of his habit of sliding off of his 'pads' and scouring the polished floor.   Not good news when the bull-night inspection was imminent!   Generally good memories of my service at Jever together with sadness at the loss of my pilot (F/O Spearman} and kite -'R' Roger - following, I believe, an air-to-air collision.   Now retired (of course) and living in Kent.   I'd be delighted to hear from anyone how remembers me.   In the meantime, take a look at my blog http://mylifealready.blog-city.com/ and website http://www.prostatecancernow.org/ for the full story..."   Then later:"Bearing in mind that remembered detail gets a bit fuzzy after 50+ years, my recollection of Mr Spearman was that he was 'my' pilot when he often flew Vampire 'R' Roger, which was mainly in my care as airframe mech.   We became quite friendly during an all-ranks occasion at the Malcolm Club when the booze had broken the ice and I was complaining about being shaken around by the vibration on those occasions when I needed to stand with my back blocking the jet intake to assist starting.   There was also some hilarity over my service number, which was the unusual one of 2545454. From then on he always referred to me as '54'.   I only have hearsay about the cause his demise, but at the time it was said that during rocket firing practice 'R' Roger was nudged by a second 93 Squadron vampire which returned safely to Jever.   I took part in the funeral parade (location forgotten) where the Regiment provided the rifle salute party.   My most vivid memory was of Mr Spearman's sobbing fiance being comforted by family members.   On demob I worked for WHSmith, managing railway station bookstalls until I got the job with the Daily Express as a circulation representative.   This company evolved into Express Newspapers and I evolved into a Sales Development Manager until I took early retirement in '94.   Married in the 1950s.   Two children and three grandchildren.   Came to live on the Greek island of Kalymnos to start a new life with my then partner Faith.   We married in 2000."
