Further to our post yesterday on BillAnderson’s Logbook and the first PFF sortie, we have since learned that “Jacko” was William Grierson Jackson, RCAF, who was a close friend of Bill Anderson.
Jackson, who served at PFF NTU, was a pretty amazing character. Anderson describes him affectionately in his memoirs Pathfinders.

If anyone has a photograph of William Grierson Jackson, please contact us.
With many thanks to Liz Morris for identifying “Jacko”.
