ian turner Posted 16 April , 2007 Share Posted 16 April , 2007 Bob, Is this him? On the face of it it would not seem he was a flyer, unless: He was being taught to fly and had an accident Or was a passenger (officially or unofficially) Maybe a death certificate would be worth checking or his service record, if possible.

Bob Coulson Posted 16 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 16 April , 2007 Ian, Yes that's him, I have the CWGC register for Linthorpe cemetery and in there it states "killed whilst flying". Accident here in England somewhere seems favourite I am trying to establish where. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
