Avern & Crossan 236 Sqdn 19 April 1942
Both these gentleman lay in Huelva cemetery in Spain. They'd survived their first dozen ops when as one pair of sixteen from 236 Squadron they'd where posted to the Middle East.
Whilst making the transit flight in their Beaufighter when flying on the outer edge of the formation on the left handside gun fire was encountered from Gibraleón in neutral Spain. Beaufighter then crashed and bodies retrieved. Could anyone confirm? Foreign Office file is vague, and Avern's RAAF file on the incident will take a fortnight to become open. His enlistment file reads 'lost on transit flight UK to ME' Kind regards Andy B
