General Chat

I’m clearing out my house as I’m moving shortly and have come across an epns mug that is engraved to WO Whapshott from the officers of 17 squadron, I don’t want to throw it out, how I got it I have no idea but I know it’s someone’s family history so would be happy to send it to them if it belongs to them, it’s in a very dirty condition so when I have a chance I will try to clean it

I had advertised it several years ago , and had no interest

If you think it is an RAF squadron then perhaps someone here might be able to help:-

Thanks Gwyn. The previous thread was so long ago that I had no idea I had replied on there :-D

17 Squadron is an RAF squadron.

The majority of pilots would be Officers and WO is an abbreviation for Warrant Officer in the RAF.
