Re: Looking for the family of a NZ Mosquito Navigator, Rex Frederick Cottrell

Thanks for your answers chaps,

I dropped "messages in a bottle" on other forums including RNZAF forum, I did had some answers but I could not reach Cottrell's family.

Anybody living near Auckland, that could help me ?

Another picture of the door (profile) is attached..

Thanks

GC

Rex was killed after bailing out of Mosquito NF.XIII, HK399, JT-D. He was buried at Lyon-La Guillotière cemetery and then re-interred at La Douna national cemetary at Villeurbanne. The aircraft was shot down by flak on 2 July 1944.
