Re: Blenheim L9039 of 13 OTU lost on the 9th April 1940.
L9039
Mk IV. Served with 108 Squadron; 13 OTU. 08/04/40 with 13 OTU at Bicester and crashed at 1120 hours on Carnedd Llewelyn, 6 miles south south-east of Bethesda, Caernarvon after it left formation in cloud during a cross-country training sortie. It is thought that the pilot may have been dazzled by the sun as he broke out of the overcast. The crew was killed. 740183 Sgt Alfred Ernest Hall is buried in Wandsworth (Putney Vale) Cemetery; 581508 Sgt Fred Graham in Bury Cemetery, Redvales, Lancashire; and 751999 LAC Geoffrey Halstead James in Woodbury Church Cemetery, Devon.
