HMS Glory September, 1946
Hello,
Am seeking information about an air crash on 27th, September, 1946 or around that date. From what I understand the ship was n the Far East or Australian waters at this time. FAA Squadrons were 806 and 837 Squadrons., a/c were Seafire F.XV's and Firefly F.1/FR.1's. As I understand it Air Mechanic 2c John Frederick Adams, L/FX.762898 was reported as MPK due to an air crash. But I have been unable to find anything about such an incident. Anyone have any details on this crash ? Further to this search is also the loss of S/Lt(A) Derek F. Mills ( HMS Vernon ) who is reported to have died as. a result of an air crash on the same date as Adams. The only a/c that I could find this date was a Firefly serial number MB665 of 766 Sqdn FAA in which Lt(E) Michael A Clarke was killed, but this was in home waters. Many thanks Alex Last edited by Alex Smart; 22nd January 2018 at 17:29.
