Photos From The Collection of Edward Steven Mulholland of No.615 Squadron

We are very grateful to Kevin Mulholland for sending in these wonderful photos from the collection of his Father, Edward Steven Mulholland, RAFVR (174229), who served at Kenley with No.615 (County of Surrey) Squadron, during 1938, when they were equipped with Hawker Hectors.

Kevin thinks he was a Fitter/Air Gunner during this time. He was with 615 during the Battle of France and managed to escape through Dunkirk, helped by the fact that he was a strong swimmer.

He later transferred to Bomber Command and was sent to Canada, (Kevin believes he was very good with Merlin Engines).

 Remarkably, he survived two and a half tours with RCAF 419 and 420 Squadrons RCAF, ending the war in the rank of Flight Lieutenant.
