Try the message board at <http://> <www.> <rafcommands.> <currantbun.> <com/home.html> (Sorry as usual Genes Connected corrupted the URL - getting verfy fed with their policy!) There is also a page which links to information on squadron movements. If you can the find the names of any airfields that they were based at then look up in the appropriate volume of the Action Station series of books. Flypast magazine recently published a directory of squadron associations. I will look them up and send any details direct to you Martin

They were based at RAF Salthorpe. But Google will give you lots of sites. I found them on www.raf.mod.uk/bombercommand/stations/s22.html -9k Ann Glos
