Roxy Posted 13 May , 2006 Share Posted 13 May , 2006 Cnock, Capt AW Beauchamp Proctor was awarded the VC whilst flying the SE5a with 84 Sqn in 1918. The links below may help you to determine where the sqn was operating from during the period of interest: http://rapidttp.com/milhist/vol017ab.html http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/safrica/beauchamp.html Aye Roxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxy Posted 13 May , 2006 Share Posted 13 May , 2006 Cnock, I've just noticed that either you or your namesake regularly visit 'The Aerodrome' so you've probably seen my second link already. However, I also noticed that the No 84 Sqn web page have Beauchamp-Proctor as 'Capt WA...' rather than the more common 'AW'. I've let 84 Sqn know.
