Rafa Wisbech

Wisbech Branch

Stanley Roy Palmer 1923 - 2015 Born in Wisbech Roy joined the RAF in 1942 and was sent to the USA to do his flying training and flew Catalina Flying Boats. Upon his return to the UK he was recommended to serve in bombers but never flew operationally. Being a founder member of 272 ATC Squadron in Wisbech it was inevitable that, upon demob, he returned as a instructor and eventually became the Officer Commanding until he reached retirement age. Roy was a long standing member of the Branch, joining in early 1946, and continued to be actively involved as much as possible until his death.
