The Stories and Remarkable People of II (AC) Squadron


crest

The tales of II(AC) Squadron come from many sources.  There are those which have been gleaned as a result of the reporting requirements that follow operational sorties; others come from personal experiencies of those who served; some are the fanciful output of newspaper reporters and other "investigative" agencies.  However, one thing that remains a constant thread, whatever the source of the story, is that the topic of "Shiney Two" is a rich seam to be shared and, hopefully, as the news spreads, that this library of tales will expand as folks are prompted to provide their own bit of history.

A common denominator to these tales is of course the past serving members who by their deeds provided the substance; the characters who by their contribution to our history provide an inspiration and a sense of pride to us all.  Those personal accounts, be they Obituries or just simple narratives provided by comrades can be found below; just click on the name.
