Alan Bentley Posted 15 August , 2018 Share Posted 15 August , 2018 In his flying log from Eastchurch for the 21st of June 1915 Buss says "11.20 am, Avro 1011, 35 min, to Canterbury for reported hostile aeroplane" I am interested in this incident as his passenger was my father. Does anyone have anything further on this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep looking Alan to see if I can find some details of the flight of the 21st June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the a/c that Flt.Lt. Rosher was flying when he was killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
