Sharing Our History 3

The third article in this series has been made possible by a contribution from Mr John Shipman (j.m.shipman@ntlworld.com author of One of The Few featuring 41 Squadron (Flyer below)). On the week of our Squadron Centenary it is probably most appropriate to share an image of our predecessors enjoying a beer:

The articles in this series have been made possible through content shared by our members. If you wish to broadcast a picture/article or short story to our membership via this blog then please send it to the secretary email address (41sqn.association.secretary@gmail.com) and I will post it here.
