Sqd.Ldr. John Austin "Pimbo" Pimlott DFC.
Royal Air Force
My grandfather, John Pimlott, was at RAF Scampton flying ops in the North Sea, he was then sent as a trainer to a gunnery school in Scotland. I got his service record but large chunks of it are redacted. He flew Lancasters in Dambuster bomb testing, flew planes around the country once repaired, went to South Africa to help train their Air Force, back to England to fly Lancasters over Europe. I got a copy of service medals, I've seen his original ones and there was a DFC amongst them. If anyone knows more about him I would be keen to know more
