An Australian pilot
 

In Ampthill churchyard 3m. from here lays 2Lt. Eustace J. V. McGee killed when his Snipe E7384 (Central Dispatch Pool London) crashed on a ferry flight taking off from a field in Ampthill, probably spun-in in fog; he was born in S. Yarra Victoria. I always visit his grave when there.
It would be good if a family member in Australia or S. Africa could see this and know he is not forgotten.
