great haseley Oxfordshire United Kingdom
I am the Son of Donald Glover Hill 541 Squadron RAF Benson and WRAF Sgt Gladys (Jean) Head (also of Benson), I have found this site whilst researching aircraft flown by my Father whilst at Benson, to my surprise I find a page about him with a link to John Bendixsen but cannot find any more. I have the same photo of him in one of my Father's albums. I would like to contact his Son and as many other children of Benson 541 crew, the more the merrier, perhaps we can swop photos? I have been in contact with the person who controls the small museum at Benson and Tony Hoskins from 'Spitfire AA810 Restoration Ltd - www.spitfireaa810.co.uk.
