Ronald George Jones 613 Squadron My father Ronald Jones was a navigator wireless operator flying with 613 Squadron before reporting to HQ Air Command South East Asia on the 29th September 1945. Two days later he was transferred to the Santa Cruz Airport as an Assistant Adjutant until 20 July 1946. My mother has memories of my father traveling to Delhi with the Adjutant and staying in the silver part of a palace to attending meetings. We don't have any information to support this but the timing coincides with the Indian mutiny. Any information about my late father would be most appreciated.

F/O Robert Edward Farrow DFC & Bar. 613 Sqd. (d.15th Apr 1945) Bob Farrow was my husband's uncle, after whom he was named. We are desperately trying to find out what we can about him, as the family fractured soon afterwards, and we know so little. Did anyone know him? We know why he was awarded the DFC, but not the bar. If anyone can help we would be so grateful.

LAC. Thomas William Coop GM. 613 Squadron My father, Thomas Coop received the George Medal for saving a pilot from a burning plane in September 1940, the story is in the London Gazette. We have sent for his records which confirms he did get the award, my brother and I have been trying for years to find out where it happened, it just says at an aerodrome. There was also a Richard Farley involved, who helped my father, I would like to trace his family if possible.
