Lt. R.J. Twilton - 25-4-1919 - RAF 88 Squadron
Further some 1919 accidents I saw that Lt. R.J. Twilton of 88 Squadron (Nivelles, Belgium) was killed on 25-4-1919 when his a/c nose-dived and struck ground at an undisclosed place.

Interestingly, as other occupant a certain Sgt. R. Guillard (Belgian Interpreter) is mentioned. Don't know if he survived or not...

My mystery: casualty card says "BF" as type of machine, presumably short for a Bristol F2B with which 88 Squadron flew at that time. But as serial C2649 is mentioned.
I gathered that this was a serial for an R.E. 8 instead? A typo on the card?

Thanks for info.

Regards,

Leendert
