This is a round robin for Charles Simmons wanting to know what his dad in the war. Dennis joined RAF Helensburgh in 1940 as a lac and by the end of the war was a squadron leader. His number was 330295 and he retired from the RAF in 54. Any info appreciated.
Robin, I seem to be following you from RAFCommands to here. That NCO service number is going to throw people off. Help me trace Sqd Ldr Dennis Williams Simmons (330295) for his son. Regards, Dave
Dave, yes we meet again as this is a 'round robin'. Thanks again will amend service number as supplied by his son.
