Sgt. Eric Thomas Henry Darling

Royal Air Force 9 Squadron

from:Tottenham

My father-in-law Eric Darling, following training, joined 9 Squadron at Honington in mid September 1941 and flew in 34 operational flights as a wireless operator from that date until 26th June 1942 including the first three 1000 bomber raids against Cologne,Essen and Bremen. He flew his early missions with Sgt Bulford and later missions with Sgt Bernard Patrick in Wellington X3594. Eric made contact with Sgt Patrick in 1977 and learnt he had remained a pilot after the war. After operations Eric joined 12 OTU to train new recruits in the skills of W/O ending his war in India.

I have Eric's log book and a noseart section from a Wellington and if anyone has information about Disney Characters painted on Wellingtons I would like to know.
