David Allan Haigh joined the RAF Volunteer Reserve as a Sergeant on 20 January 1942, with the Service Number 115336.

By early 1944, he was a Navigator/Radar Operator with No.125 (Newfoundland) Squadron operating Beaufighters from RAF Valley on Anglesey, where he crewed up with Eric Barwell as his regular pilot.
