I am an ex-RAF Sqn Ldr of 38 years service and volunteer history researcher for the British National Trust at Beningbrough Hall near York, England. Beningbrough Hall was used by SNCO Aircrew of No 408 Sqn RCAF during WW2 as a billet. A Room was opened this year as a Memorial to those SNCO aircrew of No 35 and 76 Sqn RAF and No 408 Sqn RCAF who resided in the Hall between April 1941 and VE-DAY 1945. In 2013 a special exhibition is being mounted to celebrate the 70th anniversary of members of No 408 Sqn RCAF taking up occupation Beningbrough Hall from their base at nearby RAF Linton on Ouse. I have had fantastic assistance from sqn veterans such as Ron Butcher, Wally Kasper, George McKillop and Larry Motiuk.
However, I would appreciate any assistance from ex-Sqn Members [aircrew or ground crew] and NOK in order to enhance the information available so that full justice can be given to those who aided my country in the grim days of WW2.
