I must get around to cleaning some of these photographs up one day, although the stains carry their own history. My father is among this group. I haven’t had any success yet finding out any more about 759 Spitfire Maintenance. I was surprised to find that HMS Heron is, or was, the shore base in Yeovilton. I have vague memories as a child being taken there to visit a wartime friend of my Dad’s (a Johnny Whitehouse if my memory is right. How did I come up with that name !?). I can only presume this is where he trained as an Airframe Mechanic. My father was a carpenter by trade, so presumably his role was actually making and repairing much of the wooden frames on the aircraft.

Any information would be appreciated
