Re: RAF Non-operational loss 21 March 1944
Unveiling a memorial and having the correct words on it means that the AHB/RAF (Air Historial Branch) M U S T come up with all the available info on this accident (even if the questioner is not a next of kin). The aircraft was from OADU (Overseas Aircraft Delivery Unit) and on a ferry- or test flight from Hurn, Moordown. It crashed short after take-off. The crew may have been 7 (Appleton/Evans/Gent/McGregor/Alexander/Green/Roberts). Killed on the ground were Mrs Dorothea BENNETT, age 59, from 9 Meadow Court, Wimbourne Road and Mr Percy Frederick CHISLETT, age 49, from 1027 Wimbourne Road, Bournemouth.
Success with the planning of the memorial; we may not forget those heroes.
Regards,
Henk.
