Framed Prints From Memory Lane
Framed Print of The RAF Spitfire squadron County of Surrey
The RAF Spitfire squadron County of Surrey, known as Churchills Own, of which the Prime Minister is honorary Air Commodore, arrived in India in 1942, to take part in the defence of that country, and in that role achieved excellent results, particularly during the siege of Imphal.
Operating from an Arakan Jungle strip, this famous auxiliary squadron is now helping to drive the Japanese out of Burma.
The Commonwealth is well represented in the squadron; the Commanding comes from Trinidad, and
there are Australians, including twin brothers from Melbourne, Canadians, New Zealanders and a Kenya man among the pilots.
Among the ground crew there are still five of the auxiliary air force personnel, who joined the squadron on its formation in 1938.
