16 SFTS RAF Newton

[noggin]

Has anybody a list of losses from the 16 SFTS at RAF Newton or can point me in the right direction to find them preferably without a trip to the NA. I have the crew names and aircraft types but would like serial numbers and locations. Also the same for a 12 P APU Blenhiem RAF Spittlegate 19/8/44. As an aside to this , I have the death certificates from the GRO for the Polish killed outside the boundaries of the airfield but some from inside are not on record ( this is different to RAF listing usually down as " War Operations " ). Did the PAF bases come under Polish duristricion ? Example 2 Polish airmen riding 2's up on a push bike , hit buy a lorry on the Fosseway. 1 killed at the scene death cert at GRO , 1 taken to RAF Newton SSQ and dying there , no record at GRO. Both buried at CWGCplot Newark.

Hello,

Re: No.12(P)AFU, 19 August 1944 loss:

19-8-1944
No.12(P)AFU
Blenheim V AZ890

Flew into ground at night near Wymondham, Leicestershire, cause unknown.

An alternative source states that the Blenheim crashed near Lodge Farm, east of Buckminster, Leicestershire.

16 SFTS Dates I still have to sort :
23/7/42 Oxford
25/5/43 Master
7/7/43 Master
2/9/43 Master
24/25/2/44 Master
25/3/44 Master
12/5/44 U/Kn
16/6/44 U/Kn
19/7/44 Oxford
12/10/44 Master - these are the types and dates of death although it doesn't state if the crew man was killed out right or succumbed some time later so there may be some disparity. All buried Newark cemetery.

25/5/43 - 792593 LAC Euzebiusz MROCZEK was aboard Master III W8450, not W8540.

Col.
Then it must be an error in 16 SFTS ORB.

Sorry for checking this so late, but 19/7/44 is a puzzle
The Oxford P9994 is a serial which all my sources says was canx. Do you mean another serial or do you have something I don't have??

Cheers
