The Mildenhall Register

http://www.mildenhallregister.stirlingpilot.org.uk This web site is dedicated to all who served on XV, 90, 149 & 622 Bomber Squadrons at RAF Mildenhall during WWII. The aim of the website is to provide a source of information for anyone with an interest in the squadrons and the personnel who served with the squadrons. The web site will, over time, attempt to cover all aspects of all the squadrons’ operational histories. For example, there were over 60 Bomber squadrons operating Avro Lancaster aircraft during WWII and each and every one of them endured heavy aircrew causalities. All these men deserve to be remembered for the sacrifices they made to keep us free from tyranny. Some squadrons are high profile and their exploits have received considerable publicity over the years. This website tries to address the imbalance by presenting an operational account of four of the ‘3 Group’ squadrons that operated out of Mildenhall and contributed considerably to the war effort. On its initial formation in around 1979, the Mildenhall Register’s objective was to bring together a group of people who shared a common bond with one of the squadrons that operated out of RAF Mildenhall during the Second World War. Today the Register’s objective is to appeal to a wider audience, with the intention of perpetuating and preserving the memory of all those that paid the ultimate sacrifice.

This following site is respectfully dedicated to the young men who flew and fought in the

Aircraft during World War Two and all their comrades, wherever they served.

The second of the above sites has full details of Helen Blake's (she is the author of these sites) visit to Mildenhall at the launch of the "Mildenhall to Melbourne The World's Greatest Air Race" in 2010
Who was Jimmy Melrose?
Born in 1913, Jimmy Melrose grew up in Adelaide. Encouraged by his devoted mother, Hilda, he embarked on an aviation career while still in his teens.
At the age of 20 he flew solo around Australia in record breaking time. At 21, he flew solo across the world – and back again. He became an overnight sensation after his success in the unprecedented 1934 Centenary Air Race from UK to Australia, flying his beloved DeH Puss Moth. Handsome yet modest, at 22 he had the world at his feet.
