An Typical RAF Aircrew's War | F/S Hawes' Training As A Wireless Operator (1943)
This is a bit of a personal video for me to make. The man it focuses on is F/S Stanley Hawes, a distant relative of man, and the name sake of my nephew. Tracing F/S Hawes' footsteps through his RAF career is a fascinating insight into the type and length of training Wireless Operators went through during the Second World War.
