William Francis Landin

Royal Air Force 220 Squadron

from:Ripponden, West Yorkshire

William Landin and Victor Gent in 1940

William Landin was my late father, he enlisted in the RAF Sept 1938 signing up for 6 years. Did he know was going to happen twelve months later I wonder? After his initial training he was eventually posted to 220 Squadron at RAF Thornaby where he was stationed for about 18 months. He was then posted to 254 Squadron before going to the middle east with 252 Squadron where I believe he served for the remainder of WW2 until he was discharged January 1946.
