Vital Support

by Robert Taylor



Crucial to every squadron in the RAF were the unsung heroes of World War II - the ground crew. Without the vital support of these dedicated men who refuelled the aircraft, rearmed them, maintained them and kept them flying, the pilots and aircrew would, quite simply, never have got into the air. Shown here is a ground crew bombing up a Mosquito of RAF Bomber Command. Signed by the following Mosquito pilots and crew.

Flight Lieutenant Ray Harrington   Squadron Leader Tommy Broom DFC
Wing Commander Branse Burbridge DSO* DFC*   Flight Lieutenant Aubrey 'Hilli' Hilliard
Wing Commander Eric Barwell  Flight Lieutenant Geoffrey Perks
Flight Lieutenant Ken Tempest   Flying Officer Maurice Webb DFM
Warrant Officer Bert Winwood  Flying Officer Jack Youens
