Former Barbados PM Errol Barrow Was not a Pilot. He was a Navigator.
Errol Barrow served with RAF 88 Squadron, “B” Flight, 2nd Tactical Air Force (2TAF), seeing active service supporting the Allied ground forces, bombing German communication infrastructure positions and airfields.
He spent a further two years with the British Air Forces of Occupation (BAFO) Communications Squadron, in Bückeburg, British sector of occupied Germany where he served as a Navigator within the Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) Military Governors Flight.
