Description

Wilf Sutton, later flight engineer with 35 Squadron, at the end of an early training course. (2 images)

Context

Wilf Sutton at the end of a course in Blackpool, probably March-April 1940. The classmates were about to go their separate ways and the photo, taken at the same studio as those of Ray Richards, were used as farewell gifts so that they could remember one another after they had gone their separate ways. After an interval as ground crew, working as a fitter, Wilf Sutton became a fully fledged flight engineer on 2 December 1942. Donated by Judi Nurcombe.
