Re: Spitfire "passenger" killed
Sqn Ldr Humphrey Trench Gilbert DFC of 65 Sqn was killed in a flying accident 2 May 42 when Spitfire BL372/YT-Z crashed at Loves Farm, Cutlers Green, Thaxted, Essex. With him in the Spitfire was Flt Lt David Gordon Ross. The story goes they had been drinking in the Mess and Gilbert took Ross for a spin with tragic results. The Spitfires has been dug I believe as I have a bit of it in front of me now
