This web site has been created and is maintained by Craig Singleton.
I am in no way an expert on the R.A.F., WWII or Aircraft etc. I am a keen, enthusiastic amateur doing what I can to present the history of R.A.F. Cranage via this site. It therefore has to be said, that without the help of the following people, the site would not exist at all.
The information presented on the site is a combination of many hours of research by friends, acquaintances and myself.
Errors in grammar and spelling etc. are mine, please feel free to point anything out that requires change.
Errors in research are fortunately not something that happens often and I am more than happy to make alterations accordingly. If you come across such an error then again, please contact me, and we can arrange to update the site.
