Nightfighter Navigator W/Cdr Douglas A Oxby DSO DFC DFM*
 

My dear old dad W/Cdr Douglas A Oxby DSO DFC DFM* passed away this morning. He had a remarkable life, and was amongst the highest scoring nav/rads of all Allied forces of the Second World War with 22 confirmed enemy aircraft. Dad and I had hoped to publish a book about his war years. We finished it together - but sadly he did not live to see it in print.

The funeral will be in Toronto Canada - probably next week sometime. Will post again when arrangements have been finalised. I'm going to miss my old eagle, you know. atb everyone.

Condolences Richard. My 14 year old daughter is in Toronto at the moment-not that she can go to the funeral but where and what time?

Richard: VMT but doubtful that she can get there as she is tied up with school exchange but will see what I can do
