Hello Andy,

All this could make an interesting new category: 'joy riding' military personnel. I recall only one related incident, somewhere in the eighties, when an American soldier 'stole' a tank in the Bonn area, and 'crashed' with it from a bridge into the river Rhine.

Do you know if more information exists regarding AC2 (Pilot) Walker? As you wrote: 'its interesting that he is classified by CWGC as AC2(Pilot).' - This 'pilot' classification made me think that he was on a training mission. Apparently not. Is there a way to find out what his function was within the Squadron? Batman, cleaner, cook, guard, mechanic, or whatever?

Is there a chance that English newspapers would have reported on his death?

Regards,

Bart
