Can you Help? (WW2 RAF Aircraft & Pilots)

Postby 34053 » Mon Jan 09, 2012 1:28 pm

A request, if I may? I am looking for some photos, etc relating to RAF '257 Squadron'. Mainly the Aircraft (Spitfires, Hurricanes, Typhoons) and the Pilots, of this Squadron. Can you help or point me in the right direction?
My grateful thanks.

The most famous 257 'Old boy' must be Bob Stanford Tuck - but I guess you knew that Ray. :(
