Hi,

This is very interesting.

My g uncle Joseph Kenneth Gordon (1928-1989 ) was in the RAF, and I am not sure if he would be too young for the dates you mention, but would you have a lookg for me please?

He was born and lived in Middlesbrough for most of his life. It would be fantastic to get a photograph of him!

Thank you very much for you help.

Peter

PS He was known to everyone as 'Kenny'.

Not having much luck. I would love to find an ancestor on there for someone!

Peter, just had a look too. There are a few Gordon's on there, but not yours, sorry.

Not to worry; could you try Joseph Patrick Gordon (known as Joe). We know Joe (1908-1981) was definitley in the army, but there is a rumour he may have also been in the RAF. I doubt this but it would be if you could check if that is ok?

Thanks

Peter
