Does anyone know the fates or combat history of Sgts Rex Mallet & Jamie Dykes who were on 74 Sqn in Apr 41?

Re: 74 Sqn Pilots
I have just found out that Rex was on 72 Sqn, then to 74 Sqn before returning to 72 so can anyone now add any information on him?

Re: 74 Sqn Pilots
Michal: Thanks for this. Looks like both Dykes and Mallet did the same-72 to 74 to 72 as I have photos of both with 74

Re: 74 Sqn Pilots
Hi there,
I have F/Lt Charles Frank Rex Mallett, VR 75074/144634. Promoted from W/O to P/O 7-1-43. 30-9-43 to F/O & 30-9-45 to F/lt. I have he was with 43 sqn from as early as 10-11-40 until 5-12-40, he possibly was with 43 sqn into early 1941. Posted from 74 sqn to 72 sqn at Acklington 1-7-41. I have on 21-11-41 Sgt CFR Mallett with 1 ADJ Flt in Spitfire I, N32931 on flight from Usworth to Kirton in Lindsey force landed at Bolen, near Darlington, Co Durham. due to bad weather & became lost. Landed with u/c retracted. Cat C. Pilot not to blame as no VHF or other nav aids available. Another source reported N32931 was part of 52 OTU when this happened. I had a letter from Peter May (74sqn) that James Dykes travelled fom 74 sqn to London and during an air raid was not seen again. Roy

Re: 74 Sqn Pilots
I know this thread is somewhat old but should anyone be interested, both Mallett and Sgt James Edward Townley Dykes (who was commissioned in 1942 as well-748722) survived the war
