Sgt. G. Arthur Farley

Royal Air Force 103 Squadron

Arthur Farley and his wife Joan were very special people and I am only sorry that I have not been able to trace the family whom I know lived near me and repeat our gratitude.

Arthur was a very unassuming hero of Bomber Command. His crew were based at RAF Newton. He also saved my father's life and enriched it. When they ditched a Wellington in the North Sea in Feb 1941, Arthur pulled my father out of the plane. He had a broken arm/collar bone, could not swim and was afraid of water! Arthur got him into the dinghy.

Arthur was later Commissioned. They were reunited in old age and Arthur and Joan were faithful visitors to my parents, isolated by mental and physical injuries of war. The family had connections with Havant, Hayling Island, Bedhampton and Fareham as well as Zimbabwe. Please get in touch if you read this.
