F/O. Stanley Charles Bush
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve
from:Lowestoft
Stanley Bush (my father) joined the RAFVR in August 1940. He had been an amateur flyer before the war. He initially trained on Halifax's as a navigator, but was grounded for medical reasons and went into air traffic control, mission planning (he worked on the Dresden raid) and 'special projects' (including the FIDO experiments). He was promoted to Flying Officer in 1943. During his time in the RAF he served at Bawtry, Grimsby and Kirmington. He was discharged in 1945 and returned to his job in the National Provincial Bank.
