2nd Lt Charles W Starck

[Larry]

Could someone with access to MACR look up these two L4B aircraft?

I am told that Charles Starck was in collision with another a/c though I have no proof - could it be that he collided with the L4B from a sister unit based a few miles away? Perhaps they were flying together.

440528 STARCK, CHARLES W L-4B 43-705 CHRISTCHURCH (416), ENGLAND, UK AVON VILLAGE, ENGLAND, UK

440528 CONN, MAX W L-4B 43-701 WINKTON (414), ENGLAND, UK WINKTON (414), ENGLAND, UK

Thanks in advance

Larry,

There won't be a MACR for the men and/or aircraft weren't missing in action.
An Accident Report would be the right document to look for.

Larry,

Website aviationarchaeology.com says that Conn's L-4B was involved in a ground loop on 28 May 1944, hence the damage. So not directly collision related?

Thanks Leendert.

Did you see a reason for Starck's crash?

If it was a collision with another aircraft it is likely that the other aircraft was not damaged sufficiently to crash as I cannot find any other aircraft that crashed that day in the Avon Valley near the New Forest.

Larry,

The website merely says that Starck was "killed in a crash".
