DV817 15 OTU

DV817 belonging to 15 OTU was lost near the Isles of Scilly on the 23 October 1943 during a night flying exercise.

Does anyone have access to the ORB? I am trying to establish the reason for this loss.

One of those on board was Sgt 1600416 Albert James Francis May, who was a pre war Police Constable with Hampshire Constabulary. I am researching the circumstances of his death on behalf of the Hampshire Constabulary History Society.

Any assistance would be gratefully received.
