EDITORS COMMENTS
529 Squadron at RAF Halton, circa 1943: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the members of 529 Squadron at RAF Halton in 1943, standing proudly before their transport aircraft. Among the distinguished group are several future leaders and airmen who would go on to make significant contributions to the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II. Standing from left to right, we find F/O Jimmy Harper, F/O Norman Hill, F/O George Henry Ford, F/O John Dennis, an unidentified officer, F/O Jack Follis, and F/O Major (Kiwi) Eade. Seated in the front row are Flt Lt Tommy Walsh, Flt Lt Guy Turner, Sqn Ldr Alan Marsh, AFC (Commanding Officer), Flt Lt Maurice Houdret, and F/O Willie Dunn (Engineer Officer). The photograph was identified on 5 July 2007 by Sqn Ldr Basil Arkell, RAF (Retd), the last known surviving pilot from No 529 Squadron. The image was taken just prior to Basil joining the squadron, providing a fascinating glimpse into the faces of the men who served alongside him during this pivotal period in history. The 529 Squadron was a transport squadron, and its aircraft played a crucial role in the war effort by transporting personnel, supplies, and equipment to various locations around the world. The squadron's planes were essential for maintaining the momentum of the Allied forces and supporting their ground troops. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the brave men and women who served in the RAF during World War II and the vital role they played in the outcome of the conflict. The image is a testament to their courage, determination, and camaraderie, and it continues to inspire us today.
