FAA - C.L.G. Evans DSO DFC fighter ace.

Hi guys

FAA, I know, but perhaps someone has information!

Lt-Cdr (later Rear-Admiral Sir Charles) Evans commanded 806 Squadron 1940-41. He died in 1981 aged 73.

Does any one if he had a wife and/or family? And, if so, with whom contact could be made?

Fingers crossed!

Brian

A quick Google shows he was a Vice Admiral and had the DSC not DFC. If married & his wife was a similar age, she would be well into her 100s. If an ace, anything in Aces High?

Obviously a slip of the old gnarled typing finger!

I did see a remark to the effect that a poster discovered he married a Greek lady in 1942 called doulcouris? or somesuch? I am having terrible trouble with internet and just could not get anything to appear, to read the whole entry, so I couldnt get any extra info - but I suspected you had made the comment on anothrr forum?
