Researching Ww11 Fighter Pilot. J K P Nash
Dear Researchers. You will probably have seen this research on other web sites, but still need more info on this Fighter Pilot, this is what I know so far (I think).
His name was definatley Kevin P Nash, (as there wasn't a pilot by that name in the war, we think his 1st initial was J) J Kevin P Nash.
His service No was 162095.
He was mentioned in The London Gazette on 25/7/1944, This records the promotion of JKP Nash from Pilot officer to Flying officer, with effect of 18/6/44.
We know that he was sent to Terrel, Texas to learn some flying skills.
After he was demobbed he joined the priesthood and became a Dominican Priest,( and changed his name to Fr Hugh Nash) he taught Maths at Blackfrairs School, Laxton, Corby, Northants, about 1962 he left Blackfrairs & presumably the Priest hood, and went to Cambridge University, where he met a lady called Sue, they fell in love and married and had two daughters, after graduationg they left Cambridge and settled down in South Wales, where Kevin Nash was to become a counsellor at Cardiff University.
Sadly Fr Hugh/Kevin, passed away about 20 years ago, his wife quite recently.
If anyone knows anything about J Kevin P Nash, would they please tell me, as I would like to fill in all the gaps in his life.
Thanking you in advance.
