262945 Sgt. John Kerr Kennedy Royal Air Force No. 106 Squadron from:Farnborough John Kennedy was my uncle. He served as a sergeant pilot with No. 106 Squadron.
I have his log book from April 19th, 1943 and a photograph of the squadron in front of a Lancaster in which he appears. The last log entry was November 30th, 1945. I also have his tags and service watch vibro etched with his service number. There are several photographs which include the final burial of the squadron.
After the war he spoke little of his service apart from taking time out to work on ammunition trains in Dover - from one dangerous occupation to another!
He survived the hostilities and returned to work at the RAE Farnborough, retiring as a technical grade engineer responsible for wind tunnel models until his retirement. He died around the turn of the 21st century and was a life member of the RAF association.
