Allen Clifford Weston

Royal Canadian Air Force pilot 419 Sqd.

2nd from left K F McCallum, 3rd from left J H MacKay, 4th: A C Weston, 5th: John McKellar, with R F Clark, S A Musto and W H Murrell. Behind them is VR-W, KB-707.

My father's name is Allen Clifford Weston and he served at Middleton St. George from July 24 to November 28, 1944. He successfully completed 32 bombing missions over France and Germany during his service as Pilot of a Lancaster Bomber. He was in the 419 squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force and was a Lancaster Bomber Pilot. My father made 32 bombing missions over France and Germany and I have his log book and medals all in good shape. I remember my father telling me stories about his second world war exploits which was unusual because he hardly ever talked about the war. He met my mother, who was in the Royal Air Force and brought her home to Canada after the war. My father is dead now but my mother is still alive at 86 years young. I often consider my father a war hero and infact he was nominated for the distinguished flying cross by his crew but never received it. By reading his log book it seems to me he deserved the medal
