254 Squadron 

Sgt Harold Wood

Thanks for replying, the family has been waiting 64
years to find out what happened to Harold, the only
information that his twin sister (my grandmother, 84
years of age) was given was that he was missing
presumed dead.
I plan to do a lot more research into 254 squadron and
I'll let you know what I find out. I've attached a
photo of my late relative, perhaps you'll find it
useful for your website.

with thanks

John Austin
