Hi alex, i have these notes about Mansell:
Mansell, Neville Brighton. Son of George Frederick Laurence Mansell and Doris Violet Mansell, of Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia.
Born 05.03.1922
29.07.1944: commissioned, RAFVR (General Duties Branch) [emergency commission]
25.04.1945: pilot, 237 (Rhodesia) Squadron RAF (shot down by flak)

Do you know where he was shot down?

Hello Micky,

According to the AB serials book PA100- RZ999.
MK251 - Presumed shot down by flak near Milan.
PT624 - Hit house attacking MT and overturned.
So I assume they were lost in the same combat area.

Alex
