16 SFTS RAF Newton
Has anybody a list of losses from the 16 SFTS at RAF Newton or can point me in the right direction to find them preferably without a trip to the NA. I have the crew names and aircraft types but would like serial numbers and locations. Also the same for a 12 P APU Blenhiem RAF Spittlegate 19/8/44. As an aside to this , I have the death certificates from the GRO for the Polish killed outside the boundaries of the airfield but some from inside are not on record ( this is different to RAF listing usually down as " War Operations " ). Did the PAF bases come under Polish duristricion ? Example 2 Polish airmen riding 2's up on a push bike , hit buy a lorry on the Fosseway. 1 killed at the scene death cert at GRO , 1 taken to RAF Newton SSQ and dying there , no record at GRO. Both buried at CWGCplot Newark.

Re: 16 SFTS RAF Newton
Hello Col,
From Henk's list , he had 2-9-43 for DL676, Sgt/Cadet(P) Waydowicz. Odd about the date, W8693 continued in service well after the ground collision Also to confirm death, http://listakrzystka.pl/en/?p=309300 Alex Last edited by Alex Smart; 25th February 2018 at 17:23. |

Re: 16 SFTS RAF Newton
Hello Col,
Can you help ? In the Krzystka's link I gave there is a reference to "318/N". RAF (?) – Master – pochowany na cment. w Newark (318/N). I have looked and found that Harvard II FT318 served with this training unit. I thought that it could have been the a/c that Waydowicz was involved with have been this Harvard ? But the Harvard File has FT318 with the unit from September '44. So "318/N" is a reference to something else ? Alex |

Alex,
"318/N", is Sgt Waydowicz's grave number in Newark Cemetery. Col. |
