TONY BURT SR. wrote on September 26, 2006 City and State: KINGSDOWN, DEAL, KENT Unit: RAF Service or Relationship: OTHER Comments: In my old age I am compiling a history of the RAF Sunderland squadrons in the Far East after WWII. We were based largely at Singapore but operated from Iwakuni, Japan, during the Korean War. This entry from my diary of 7 January 1954 may be of interest to VP2 veterans. "This morning we took `Xray' and got airborne for the second time this year. The trip was bitterly cold and was a fairly long fox. Off the SW corner of Korea we saw the task force element and a PBM and P2V searching for the missing P2V of VP2 which has only been operating from Iwakuni for a week or so having recently arrived from the States. Later we heard that two bodies have been picked up." Keywords: History of RAF Sunderland flying boats in Far East

During this time we were not allowed to take any photos of our aircraft....hence, I have NO pictures of our plane, or other squadron planes. I'd sure appreciate any photos, either of SB-3,(I was Ist Radio) or any other boat of that vintage...thanks, John Harbin Keywords:

Reading these comments and seeing the pictures brought back lots of memories. I was duty driver Jan, 4 1954 when we lost our first patrol.I knew most of the crew. I had flown with that crew some stateside. I have almost the same picture of SB5 when she slid off the runway in Kodiak. Keywords:
