" I’m trying to trace my father Jack Edward Bird. He was a Flight Engineer in 1951 when he and my mum May Brenchley were married. He served at RAF Scampton, where he trained as a pilot and at RAF Upton Hall, he alse spent some time I think in Iraq. I think he left the service aroun 1953/4. If anyone can help I’d be grateful. "
