Does anyone have any pictures or knowledge of Antonio Roski ? Uncle... can't find any pictures of "L"Does anyone have pictures of crews or individuals from the 420 Snowy Owl Squadron. In 1943 I beleive it was they were stationed at Tholthrope Yorkshire. I'm looking for pics of Norman Binnie, Normy Cooper, Ted Vigor,and Bill Brayley. I'm not sure if all were posted to the 420 Squadron.

I am compiling historical information about the RCAF 420 Snowy Owl Squadron as the City Of London bomber squadron during the war, as an auxiliary fighter squadron from 1948 to 1956, as 2420 AC&W Squadron from 1957 to 1961 and an Air Reserve Squadron at Shearwater, N.S. and Summerside, P.E.I. from 1974 to 1994.Hi Chris,
Here's all the 420 Squadron Halifaxes listed in the database here. All are of Halifax aircraft & no crew details given, but the list may be of use...
Best wishes for the New Year.
