Text Box: No 46 Squadron RFC and RAF We Rise to Conquer

The Story of an Erk
In 1997, Cpl John Duckers, an instrument fitter with No 46 Sqn throughout most of the North African deployment. John wrote a description of his time in the RAF which he had put away in a drawer. In 2003, his daughter saw the Sqn website and suggested we should publish it. We did so and it is hyperlinked here. It is a rare fascinating account of what life was like for the mechanics who kept the Beaufighters airborne. John’s time on 46Sqn starts after Chapter 3.
