634 squadron Lossiemouth

Hi there everybody I am trying to find out about 634 squadron whom I believe were stationed in Lossiemouth. My uncle served with them and was allegedly killed on a bombimg raid over Norway. Any info would be very helpful. I do know that my uncle is on the honours roll in Edinburgh castle.

thanks for any gen in advance.

 

I don't think that there was a 234 Squadron, certainly not in the RAF. Lossiemouth was used by 20 OTU ( a training squadron ) but 617 Squadron used Lossie as a 'forward base' to attack the Tirpitz in Norway. Could your relative have been on 617 ?

 

There was a 234 Sqn in the RAF. They flew Blenheims until Spring 1940 and converted to Spitfires. Not at Lossiemouth however

But mentalmagpie is asking about 634 Sqn and I can find nothing.

Is it possible , magpie, to post your uncle's name and at least the year you think he was lost?

 

Sorry ae my typo - I meant 634.....

 

Are you sure of the Squadron?
There doesn't appear to have been a 634 in the War....
Perhaps if you post ALL the details you have so far, including full Name, Service Number and period of service, plus any Date of Death, you will have greater success.
Too little to give you much more help I'm afraid.

 

'Thanks for your efforts, guys'

'It was nothing - don't mention it'

'No, really - I insist'

We just love it when people ask a question, some of us do some research in an endavour to help, and then we never hear from the original poster again.

Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling - the downside is that when the next question appears, some of us may think....

'WHY SHOULD I BOTHER ?'

 

Hear, hear, Martin!

None of the people who look these things up for folks do it for any other reason than we have a passion for the subject at hand or at least some knowledge of it.

What absolutely infuriates me is when the question is answered in one forum and you see the same question, from the same person, in a half dozen others. We all use the same data and/or sources so the outcome is not suddenly going to change from one forum to the next, only the minutiae.

People should really come back and check. I have seen some questions answered on here within 30 minutes of being posed.

And to be fair there have been many fine folks who either PM or email to say thanks, above and beyond just writing it in the thread.

 

sadly I must agree here, one thread already by a poster came on about V-1/ V-2's and the Intruder ops in March of 45, never to be seen again,

it happens though on all forums, one posting - a questions, answers galore and either a "not thank you, but more questions if you will", or the origins of the post never return again gleening necessary info and off to another forum to ask / repeat the same question again, have seen in repeatedly over the years...............as said "why bother responding to a posting ? " more so on the gene threads, Hi I am new here and I want all info's on my long lost grandpa.
