Air Commodore C B Wincott, RNAS, RAF (attached RAAF)
      #378 - 14/11/2008 07:36

Hello all - my first post, so I hope it's ok. I'm researching No 5 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force for a unit history. In 1936-38, No 5 (Fleet Co-op) Squadron had an RAF exchange officer as CO, Squadron Leader (later Air Commodore) Cyril Beresford Wincott. Incidentally, one of 'his' aircraft was the Supermarine Seagull V, A2-4, in the RAF Museum. I know the basics of his service but am hoping to make contact with any researcher, family member or others with information on the man, his time in Australia, and possibly photographs (esp 1936-38). Many thanks. John

Cyril Wincott (Winkie) is/was my grandfather. His only daughter Christine lives in Australia and remembers her time as a child in Sydney when he was posted to Richmond. How can we help you with your research?
