Re: RAF Hurricane ferry flight - Nigeria - Sept/Oct 1941

Alex,

Did some further CWGC searches.

Name is off, but only RAF pilot casualty buried in Nigeria in presumed time period is Sgt (Pilot) Leslie Luck of 229 Squadron, died 4 Oct 1941.
He was from Hendon, so in greater London area.

In another book while looking for 229 Sqdn I read that some pilots were sent to Takoradi to pick up Hurricanes and fly them to Egypt in Sept 1941...

Perhaps ORB of 229 Squadron can give further insight.

Regards,

Leendert
