Sub-Lt A H HOOD & P/O V GRAHAM, FAA, 15/03/45

Hello everyone

Can anyone give me any details of the loss of the above two, killed in a air crash on March 15th 1945? They are both buried at Rosskeen near the Cromarty Firth. Alastair Horsley Hood was from Durham, and Vivian Graham from Rowlands Gill, also in County Durham.

Hood is listed as being with 837 Sqn, H.M.S. Owl (Fearn), so I'm guessing it's a Barracuda?

Regards

Simon
