AC2. Alexander Howick Anderson

Royal Air Force 24 OTU

from:Southend On Sea

My Grandad Alexander Anderson was assigned to 24 OTU on 27th of September 1941 and then moved to 13 OTU on 9th November 1941. He later served with RAF Maintenance Units 119, 117, 357, 24 moving from Iraq, North Africa and to Sicily. I'm told he enjoyed the company of the American servicemen but hated flies!

His trade was as a gas fitter. He really loved mathematics as a hobby and would take my Dad's homework to do it himself. Once, my Dad's maths teacher said to him: "Tell your Dad he's done very well." I don't remember any stories my Grandad told about WW2 but I'm keen to find out more about his service if possible. He survived the war and died in the 1980s.
