Personnel of 24 Operational Training Unit, Honeybourne

If a member of your family was at 24 OTU, please can you contact us if you have any photographs, anecdotes, a log book or paperwork? We aim to build an archive of 24 OTU that will become a resource for families and researchers alike, by copying original material, particularly log books and photographs. Thank you.

The tables of pupils on the courses have been compiled using notes of officer postings in the unit's Operations Record Book for its first year and ORBs of other units for later years. Most of them formed into a crew for their first tour when they were at 24 OTU. Complete crews leaving the OTU have been inferred from squadron records and making educated guesses, so some mistakes are inevitable. The tables to February 1944 include a significant proportion of the pupils but we have not yet found sources of information for the later tables. 

We are indebted to Bill Chorley, who has allowed us to make use of his excellent "Bomber Command Losses" series of books and we have used them extensively. We hope to identify further airmen from the various Bomber Command squadron records. If you can add something to what we know about these airmen, please send us an email.
