W/O. Douglas Sidney Joseph Norton

Royal Air Force 51 Squadron

(d.13th March 1945)

My granddad, Warrant Officer Douglas Sidney Joseph Norton flew with 51 squadron at RAF Snaith between October 1944 and March 1945.

The above photo was supposedly taken before their final operation on 13/03/1945. My granddad is front row on the right - he was the Wireless Operator. The only other person I can identify is the Bomb Aimer F/Sgt W R Homewood back row second from right. The others are:

  • F/O B.J. Murray DFC- Pilot,
  • P/O E.V. Grinter DFC - Navigator,
  • Sgt R Stephenson - Flight Engineer,
  • Sgt JHC Hoggan - M/U Gunner,
  • Sgt JP Ryan DFM - Rear Gunner.
If any one recognises anyone please contact me.
