RAF AIR SEA RESCUE CREW WW2
Tracing my Dad's service in RAF ASR
By Steve Hale
I am not a historian. But I am proud that my Dad (94 now) served on several RAF Air Sea Rescue launches in WW2. He can remember HSLs 127, 144, 149, 156, 178 all around the North Sea and English Channel. I am trying to piece together more of his service record. In particular he recalls rescuing the complete crew of a downed Flying Fortress from the North Sea. Anyone out there able to help me please? Thank you.
