Re: Unknow pilot grave

Hello RT,
Have you any idea as to which country the wreckage was in ?
Also would have to bare in mind the possibility of the crash could have happened earlier than the 30th .

Having said that the RAF Commands Forum Database gives us the following possible losses for the 30-10-1942.

UK
53 OTU
Spitfire 1a - AR255
Sgt.I,W, STOREY ( Australian).

INDIA
17 Sqdn
Hurricane - BN684

F/O. L, H, PETERSON (Canadian).

NETHERLANDS
105 Sqdn
Mosquito - DK316
Sgt. E,L, SIMON.(Pilot).
Sgt. T,W, BALMFORTH.(Obs/Nav).

Two Airmen are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial, they were both crew of Whitley V - BD293 - 10 OTU.
