501717 James Gilroy Gregson RAF 57 Squadron My father, James Gilroy Gregson, served in 57 Squadron at East Kirkby during WW2 as an armourer, reloading planes' guns and ensuring they fired properly etc. Sadly he died in 2005 aged 91 but thankfully I was able to take him a few years ago, when my mother was alive, to visit East Kirby museum. He was particularly delighted to find a photograph of himself and three pals in front of a gate in the countryside - this was found downstairs in the control tower.
