225192 Flt.Sgt. Frederick "Pop" Wingham Royal Air Force 420 (Snowy Owl) Squadron from:Pontefract My grandfather Fred Wingham flew with Snowy Owl and maintained his links with his crew and their families until his death at 90. He was the oldest on board, hence the nickname Pop and the only Englishman. My father still has his logbooks. My favourite memory of his reminiscences is of Africa. Grandad was walking past a group of soldiers and he heard someone mention Bombardier Wingham. It was his brother! Thousands of miles from home and he found his younger brother Alfred. He loved attending the squadron reunions especially those at Middleton St George as it meant he could visit his family in the north east. Additional Information: | Do you know if your grandfather trained at War Eagle Field/Polaris Flight Academy in Lancaster, California? I find the name Frederick Wingham in a newspaper article in February 1942. The RAF trained here in the United States from 1941 - 1942.
