Re: Death of W/C Lance Wade
Wade had joined HQ Desert Air Force in Nov 1943, therefore he was not on 145 Sqn at the time, though his death is mentioned in their ORB and is noted as a flying accident
Frank Olynyk in "Stars and Bars" records his death in an Auster at Foggia (MT415 ?)
His demise is not mentioned in Mediterranean Air War, so assume not operational
Spitfire The History records JK603 = VC(T)M50, 15MU 14/2/1943, 76MU 4/2/1943, Fort McL 21/3/1943, Casa 6/4/1943, NWA 30/4/1943, Malta 1/7/1943, Sic NAAF 1/11/1943, SOC 8/3/1944
Air Britain Aircraft JA100-JZ999 JK603 = 93 Sqn SOC 8/3/1944
