Sqd.Ldr. Jerrold Ronald Fleming
Royal Australian Air Force 50 Squadron

My father joined the RAAF in 1928 and served at both Point Cook (Vic) and Richmond (NSW) before being sent to the Staff College at Andover. From Andover he was posted to 50 Sqd. at Waddington at the beginning of 1939; in August he and my mother were en route to France for his annual leave, and I can remember their rapid return with war imminent. My mother recalled lying awake at night counting the departing bombers and waiting to count their returning. He then had a staff posting for 1940, and returned to Australia at the beginning of 1941.
