225188 Flt.Lt. Robert Arthur Tofts Royal Air Force 114 Squadron from:Cambridge My father Robert Tofts was a sergeant in the Volunteer Reserves. He served with 114 Squadron in Blenheim IVs. His log books show a variety of aircraft and operations. He remained in the RAF until 1964 when he retired. He was also with 55 Squadron for a time. Whilst I have a variety of photographs I am attaching a picture of the entire 114 Squadron. I am not certain when this was taken but suspect it was circa 1940. I met Richard Rook (Dickie) who died approx 4-5 years ago. Some people may recognise some of members of the Squadron in this photograph. Father was commissioned in 1944 and retired as a Flt/lt. I also attach two photgraphs of my father (extreme left) with W/C Monson, Flt/Lt Adam and Flt/Lt Bedford. This was taken in January 1946 in Elmas, Sardinia. The aircraft is a Buckingham which was on a test flight at the time. Additional Information: Great picture! My late Dad is Coote bottom right! He survived war, I wonder how many in this picture did also.... He stayed in RAF until late 60's then moved into Civilian life working for Barclays Bank until retiring Nick Coote Reply Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
