LAC. John Leslie "Jock" Bell

Royal Air Force 76 Squadron

My Grandfather, John Bell who died some years ago was a leading Aircraftsman with 76 squadron during the Second war. He volunteered for service to join the RAF so he would avoid the call up to either the Army or Navy. He was a master joiner by trade and as a result worked on airframes against his desire to learn propulsion and mechanics. He served at Holme on Spalding moor, Linton on Ouse and Middleton St George and the went abroad to India with 76 squadron. He was by all accounts a good friend of Leonard Cheshire who was the squadron commander. We have a book signed by Mr Cheshire to my grandfather.

I am trying to research my grandfathers service and any help would be very appreciated.
