In May 2024, Mike Westwood handed over a copy of Irvin Hanson’s recently-published book entitled, ‘Third Time Lucky’, to Wg Cdr Jim Rycroft, OC10. This was in gratitude for the Squadron allowing Irvin access to its memorabilia, whilst writing of his father’s time on 10 Squadron’s Whitleys in WW2, prior to becoming a PoW for the rest of the war in 1941.
On behalf of its author Irvin Hanson, Mike Westwood donates a copy of 'Third Time Lucky' to Wg Cdr Jim Rycroft, OC10.
