 "My
father Peter Doig Scott, was a rear gunner and gunnery instructor
for the 214 Squadron based at RAF Stradishall in 1940. His Log shows he
travelled to Feltwell on 23 July 1940 in Wellington L-4338 piloted by P/O
Perioli.
On the back of one of his war photos he has written: John Skelly ,"Dan-a-Meenit", July 1940 RAF Feltwell. See Nose Art I know nothing more about John Skelly but if he was based at Feltwell at that time perhaps someone might have some information. It's a lovely photo and I'd be willing to have copies made for John Skelly's family if we can locate them." Sheila Scott Byrne (Email the webmaster for Sheila's address) This Wellington was T2820, served with 75 Sqd, crashed on Methwold Fen night of 21-22 Oct. 1940, all 6 crew survived. . A John Henry Skelly is recorded in the BCWG - Dan Engle |

Uncle, Sgt. John Henry Waterfall was a radio operator and air
gunner on a Wellington based at Feltwell, Squadron 37. He joined the RAF
in Jan 1939, and was awarded the DFM in May 1940, having shot down a
Messerschmitt 109, and severely damaging a M. 110.
He was killed on the night of 6/7 July 1940, when his plane failed to return from duties to Bremen. It was shot down over Jever in Germany. He was laid to rest at the British Military Cemetery, Oldenburgh, Germany. Caroline Kesseler (nee Waterfall) |

RAF Feltwell Station Armoury 1941-42 My father is in the back row 2nd in from right, as you look at picture. His name is James (Jim) O'Neill. I know he was playing football early in the war but I understand he was Injured in a air raid and later took up training a football team. He is the trainer at this link? Any stories would be nice.
