Two FAA officer casualties 1940 ??
Hi guys

I have notes that the following two FAA officers were killed in flying accidents during 1940, but can't find their names listed. Any ideas?

26/9/40 Master N7675 of 759(T) Squadron crashed - Mid(A) D.S.T.WALLIS killed ??

15/12/40 Swordfish K5959 of 767(T) Squadron crashed - Sub Lt(A) B.C. POCOCK killed??

Cheers
Brian

Well Brian

Looking in Air Britain's FAA Aircraft 1939-45 it says
N7675 Crashed Braddick's Field, Martock, Cat Z 26.9.40 (S/L HW Richardson & Mid DST Wells both killed)
K5959 Flew into hillside Glen Logie, north of Kirriemuir, Cat W 15.12.40 (S/L BC Pocock, Lt PKL Odhams & LA HV Jones all killed)

Many thanks Stig

Wallis was actually Wells! And I've now found Pocock!

Trust you are well

Give my love to the Trogs!

Hey Stig

What's the difference between a Trog and a Troll? I'm beginning to get worried.

Cheers
Brian

Well Brian

Maybe eye sight? For those not knowing what a Trog is, it is short for Troglodyte or Caveman. Easy enough for those of us remembering the Troggs way back in the 1960's. Since most youngsters now a days consider this to be the Stone age anyway, I suppose they had the most fitting name of all the Groups back then....

Cheers
Stig
