Boys were;
Hugh Michael Dearlove (14), son of Group Captain Dearlove killed early in the war and Mrs C. M. Dearlove,
Could anyone confirm if H.M.Dearlove was the son of Group Captain Dearlove who was killed in a FF incident at Gialo Oasis on 30 November 1941 when the Blenheim he was travelling in was shot down by Bofors of 6 LAA Battery R.A.?

Many thanks in advance.

All the best

Andreas
