Two FAA officer casualties 1940 ??
 

Hi guys

I have notes that the following two FAA officers were killed in flying accidents during 1940, but can't find their names listed. Any ideas?

26/9/40 Master N7675 of 759(T) Squadron crashed - Mid(A) D.S.T.WALLIS killed ??

15/12/40 Swordfish K5959 of 767(T) Squadron crashed - Sub Lt(A) B.C. POCOCK killed??

Cheers
Brian

Well Brian

Looking in Air Britain's FAA Aircraft 1939-45 it says
N7675 Crashed Braddick's Field, Martock, Cat Z 26.9.40 (S/L HW Richardson & Mid DST Wells both killed)
K5959 Flew into hillside Glen Logie, north of Kirriemuir, Cat W 15.12.40 (S/L BC Pocock, Lt PKL Odhams & LA HV Jones all killed)

Hey Stig

What's the difference between a Trog and a Troll? I'm beginning to get worried.

Well Brian

Maybe eye sight? :) For those not knowing what a Trog is, it is short for Troglodyte or Caveman. Easy enough for those of us remembering the Troggs way back in the 1960's. Since most youngsters now a days consider this to be the Stone age anyway, I suppose they had the most fitting name of all the Groups back then.... :p
