So what was 248 Sqn flying in Coastal Command at the time; Mosquito Mk VI out of RAF Chivenor. I guess the Sqn was winding down at this time with little to do, so I imagine F/S Winters died in an accident or illness outside of 'work'. Occasionally local papers serving the area reported car or motorcycle accidents but not deaths from illness unless it was a mass outbreak of something.
