[David Layne]

I have posted this on another forum but want to post it here too.

This picture taken on 21-2-41 at snowy Cottesmore is of 14 OTU personnel in course No. 24 from 14-2-41 to 20-6-41.

Back row left to right:- Pullen, Layne, Jackson, Matthews, Smith, Wrigley, Mossop, Voysey, Thomson, Welford.

Third row left to right:- Dundas, Britt, Barley, Lord, Nicholl, Bradley, Mitchell, Norris, Matthews.

Second row left to right:- Ringwood, Bartlett, Tate, Grahame, Brister, King, Peace, Bousfield, Busley, Murray.

Front row left to right:- Scott, Watt, Walters, White, Meddon, Morris.

One can only wonder what became of these young men.
My father (Layne) completed a tour with 50 Squadron and a tour with 97 Squadron and survived the war.
Welford went to 50 Squadron and survived the war, I have no information on any of the others.
