Until his death in April 2007 Barry Froggatt ran his own Website at www.barryf.co.uk This site included a number of sections, one of which was devoted to the 7M9 (49th) Entry, to which the RAFCAA Website carried a link, while others were of a personal nature. Since April 2007, Barry's son Paul has continued to run the site but he has asked that a webpage for the 7M9 (49th) Entry be created within the RAFCAA Website. This is that new page which was been raised based upon data extracted from the 7M9 Web Site, and the RAF Cranwell Association Database.

Entry Representative: Reg Hutchins
