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.

Hello,

Re: No.12(P)AFU, 19 August 1944 loss:

19-8-1944
No.12(P)AFU
Blenheim V AZ890

Flew into ground at night near Wymondham, Leicestershire, cause unknown.

P-782478 W/O (Pupil/Pilot) Tadeusz JULSKI PAF +

An alternative source states that the Blenheim crashed near Lodge Farm, east of Buckminster, Leicestershire.

Re: 16 SFTS RAF Newton

16 SFTS Dates I still have to sort :
23/7/42 Oxford
25/5/43 Master
7/7/43 Master
2/9/43 Master
24/25/2/44 Master
25/3/44 Master
12/5/44 U/Kn
16/6/44 U/Kn
19/7/44 Oxford
12/10/44 Master - these are the types and dates of death although it doesn't state if the crew man was killed out right or succumbed some time later so there may be some disparity. All buried Newark cemetery.

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,

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.
