John Heron Lowes
Royal Air Force 5001 Squadron
from:Acklington, Alnwick, Northumberland
John Heron met his second wife Christy Sarah Morrison, who was from the Isle of Harris and was managing the NAAFI, while serving at RAF Dyce, they were later together at RAF Acklington (I don't know if that was by design or coincidence, but expect it was the former). They married in late 1947 and were happily married for 29 years when John passed away in early 1977.
An Airfield Construction Squadron consisted of every known trade or profession involved in the building and construction industry. There would also be certain R.A.F. trades attached to a Flight or Squadron, e.g. cooks, clerks, medical, etc. This was essential under wartime conditions, when a flight or squadron arrived on a station to carry out a project or to repair bomb damage. The A.C. Squadrons with the Plant Squadrons and the Mechanical & Electrical Squadrons served in many locations in the period 1941 to 1946.
