Where a new page or new material is concerned, the acknowledgements will be found on that particular page. The older list of acknowledgements given here reflects the early contributors to the database of material about 97 Squadron.
Besides the people who helped with the crews listed below, our most grateful thanks were due to Des Evans, who used to run the 97 Squadron Association website, and to Kevin Bending, who wrote a history of 97 squadron, Achieve Your Aim.
In addition, David Layne has been a very long-term supporter, ferreting out all sorts of interesting information, much of which can be seen on this website.
