Re: 1943 RAF Casualty help wanted

From the CWGC record it looks as if you mistyped the date:
Name: BAKER, THOMAS
Initials: T
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Sergeant (Pilot)
Regiment/Service: Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve
Age: 22
Date of Death: 20/09/1943
Service No: 1211171
Additional information: Son of Arthur and Alice Baker, of Corby.
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: Row 62. Grave 7.
Cemetery: CORBY CEMETERY

As no Squadron is given, perhaps he was still under training, conducting an air test or navigation exercise. Geoff's Search Engine produces 27 RAF deaths that day, with A Bracey; AW Foster and JJ Fox (and probably others) being potential other men.

I'm sure someone will be along with better info
