Related Photograph Album, to 1001135 Sergeant (Wilson?) R.A.F.V.R., who captured the wearer of the jacket, and who was working at the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment, the photographs relate to the Bouncing Bomb testing at Helensburgh; a Second World War Group of Four Medals, comprising 1939-45 Star, Atlantic Star, Defence and War Medals, with Air Council medal slip and an RAF cap badge.

The above sergeant was stationed at the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment during the war where he worked on anti submarine measures predominantly with Sunderland Flying Boats. In 1945 he was sent to Loch Ryan near Stranraer when the U Boats were brought in on skeleton crews from Loch Eribol in Northern Scotland. During this time he secured the leather jacket and pennant direct from a crew member.

A.S.Carswell, his navigator Warrant Officer E.S.Sparks who, together with a member of the Mines Department at the Admiralty, Mr. Charles Bound, were all killed during an RAF experiment in the dropping of depth charges in Brodick Bay, Isle of Arran on 17th October 1945
