This is a long shot and nothing to do with motorcycles, I and one of my brothers are trying to find out more Information about Jack H
Goffin and the 82 Bomber Squadron that he served with during WW2' Both here in the UK and then relocated to RAF Cholavarum, India in early 1942. Re-equipped with Vultee Vengeance dive-bombers began anti-submarine patrols on 17 November. In June 1943, the squadron began bombing operations against Imperial Japanese targets in Burma from RAF Salbani.

The squadron was re-equipped with Mosquitoes in July 1944, but was temporarily grounded due to failures in the wooden structure before commencing ground attack sorties on 19 December. These operations continued until 12 May 1945.
