F/Lt. Ronald Stanley Flight DFC & bar, AFC.

Royal Air Force 151 Sqd.

from:London

My father, Ronald Flight, served in the Second World War, starting as a flying instructor in London. He served with his cousins John Baylis and Roy Flight (who later was taken as POW). My father served several tours and did a lot of photographic work. He and my mother, Joan Eve, married during the war. As it was wartime, there was only one wedding dress available in the area they lived and the women shared it.

My father's navigator was Brian Douglas Mackins - and they flew together all through the war and both survived. They both received their DFC after their aircraft was shot at over Germany. They managed to keep it in the air long enough to get back to base in UK - my father said that at times they were skimming the tops of hedges and sea waves as they were flying so low.

151 Squadron, 20th of June 1944
