Bennett Posted 2 December , 2018 Share Posted 2 December , 2018 I would like help locating RFC 28 Squadron in November 1916 and RFC 59 T.S. May/June 1917. I am fairly sure 59 T.S. was at East Boldre late in 1917 but am having difficulty locating it in Spring 1917. Thanks very much for any assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapleneck Posted 2 December , 2018 Share Posted 2 December , 2018 My pleasure. 59 Sqn proper is discussed in the companion Bomber Squadrons volume. They’re weighty tomes, I’ll check for any references to the TS and report back. Cheers Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
