Percy Hopkinson in uniform with his pilot's wings taken in early 1918.
Courtesy of Dan Savident we also have some of his grandfather's service record.
This document would seem to confirm that Percy was posted to 49Sqn following the end of WW1.
Other sections of his records shows that he was passed "fit as pilot" in September 1917.
He also had "a good knowledge of internal combustion engines, 8 months in France as a MT driver in RFC" and that he was a "machine draughtsman by trade".
Percy would have spent much of his time at RAF Bavay.......click the link for details of this location.
