24 July 1940
Hi guys
A Fleet Air Arm pilot, Midshipman (A) Charles Mortimer, was killed in an air crash on 24 July 1940 while flying from Lee-on-Solent (HMS Daedalus). Can anyone tell me the aircraft he was flying and the circumstances of his crash, please? Cheers Brian

Re: 24 July 1940
Bruce/Brian,
Plse be advised that the correct Oxford serial was L5482 (in lieu of L4582). Regards, Henk.
