Re: Tracing Civilian Dead
Civilians on board RAF aircraft were not always included on the CWGC database, probably because they had never been put onto the borough / district list which the CWGC derived their data from. I have a few cases of civilian employees of manufacturers doing contracted work for the RAF who were not on the database, but I also have a similar number of people who are on the database. Those who are usually worked for Air Work (a company within the Hawker Siddeley group).
Civilian test crews (test pilots, flight engineers and FTOs) who died in flying accidents directly connected with test flying for the parent company tend not to be included.
