Re: Ken Charney
Thanks guys,
I wondered where he went after he returned from Malta in November 1942. Just for info but it appears his claim for a Me109 on 6 July was upgraded to "destroyed" according to Cull, and the 185 war diary. That'd make it 7 victories for him in WW2. Any one know where he was educated? |
Re: Ken Charney
I have his date of death as June 3, 1982, but not his place of death. Can anyone supply it?

Keith,
According to Shores, he attended Aldenham School, Elstree, Hertfordshire, from 1934-36. Regards, Michal |
Re: Ken Charney
Hi Guys,
I suspect the answer to this is to be found in the well produced and illustrated book "Alas de Trueno" by Meunier. This was published in a bilingual Spanish and English version as "Wings of Thuinder" a couple of years ago. Its subject is the hundreds of Anglo-Argentine aircrew who served in the RAF. A few copies of the Spanish version are still available in Argentina. I recommend it. Cheers, Sid. |
