Dutch pilots killed 1840 FAA Sqdn. 1944.

Something abit different.

I am trying to locate pics - photos of two (Dutch) FAA pilots who were killed while on a training sortie on the 15.03.44.

Both were flying Hellcats, stationed at HMS Blackcap, Nr Warrington, Cheshire.

Huijer, Petrus Johannes, Off V1 3KI,
1840 FAA SQN
killed flying Hellcat JV161

Smith, Alexander, Joseph, Sgt V1
1840 FAA SQN
killed flying Hellcat JV166


Any pictures as I would like to complie some for the church where they are buried.

Regards
Danny
