Postings and Movements of 561013 C.C. Harper (Wally)
RAF 1937 - 1940
South Cerney - Hendon - Halton - Mildenhall - Uxbridge
| Very little
information is available from this period,
there are no photographs just a
handwritten log of movements and a certificate of a mention in
despatches. His reconstituted flying log mentions
Bristol Blenheim and Vickers Wellington in 1938 and 1940 respectively
on the Aircraft in Which Flown
page. However there is no log of the actual dates and times
of the flights in these aircraft. I presume that the information
was not to hand when the log was reconstituted in Bermuda after loss of
the
log in the water loop and write off of Catalina W8430 at Elizabeth City
on 31 January 1943. South Cerney - 15 December 1937 - 8 July 1938 Hendon - 8 July 1938 - 30 March 1939 Halton - 30 March 1939 - 12 October 1939 Mildenhall - 12 October 1939 - 26 December 1940 Uxbridge - 26 December 1940 - 2 January 1941 From Uxbridge he travelled to Liverpool and crossed the Atlantic on RMS Nerisia to Halifax Nova Scotia making his way to San Diego by rail via Montreal on CNR, CPR, SANTA FE TRAILWAYS. |
