F/S Robert (Bob) Winters 18/09/45
Been asked by the family to research how F/S Robert (Bob) Winters (520087) died whilst serving with 248 Squadron on 18 September 1945.
He doesn't seem to be flying with the unit in May/June/July 1945 and sadly the ORB for this period has know clues to his demise, and there seems to be no probate record. Likewise a quick search of the London Gazette draws a blank too. He married his wife Mildred Winters (nee Hope) in the summer of 1942. Could anyone help me out otherwise I'll try the AHB. Many Thanks in advance, Andy Bird

Re: F/S Robert (Bob) Winters 18/09/45
So what was 248 Sqn flying in Coastal Command at the time; Mosquito Mk VI out of RAF Chivenor. I guess the Sqn was winding down at this time with little to do, so I imagine F/S Winters died in an accident or illness outside of 'work'. Occasionally local papers serving the area reported car or motorcycle accidents but not deaths from illness unless it was a mass outbreak of something.
