Hello,
My name is Veerle Bullaert and I am a student from Benedictuspoort in Begium.
My class participate in a contest: Live and Remember. My teacher of history uses this as an assignment. Everybody has to choose one person who died during the second world war. Then you have to make a facebook page about that person, so that everybody can remember that person. It’s a sort of memorial.
I have chosen Ronald Hawkins; a Squadron Leader. I have already a lot of information but I could use some more information. I could use some photographes about memorial places of him or pictures of him.
Maybe this can help you a bit:

Unit Text: 3 Sqdn.

I hope you can help me!
