Mates,

For your interest.

Check out the service record of Lt Cyril Lester Downe AFC on the Australian Nation archives site of WWI service records.

In Lt Downs file is an accident report by officers of the 5th Flying school RAF in Egypt about the accident that took the life of Lt Downs AFC, Lt CH Marchant and Lt WF Heron RAF on the 3rd March 1919.

It gives details of aircarft and such records the names of thoses of the RAF at that time.

Cheers

S.B

Hello Sue,

You may have seen my post on the ALHA forum but in case you haven't, I received Cyril Downe's BWM in the mail today. His service record makes interesting reading. I'm not having much luck with his family beyond about 1970.

Yours in service,

Hi again Sue,

Just to close the loop on 2nd LT Downe, I've located his family and his BWM will be returned soon.

Yours in service,

Glyn
