Re: Pilot Officer J.C.Watson
Third and final plea,
Interesting research I think for this one. Pic attached. Anything on his service, or aircraft would be good. Thanks. P/O John Watson who was the Observer on a special RAF ferry flight from Malta carrying as a passenger Air Marshal O.T. Boyd CB, OBE, MC, AFC. The aircraft crashed in Sicily, all crew were taken prisoner.

Re: Pilot Officer J.C.Watson
Danny,
You've got it backwards. Aircraft was on its way TO Malta when it was force-landed in Sicily. Wellington T2873 from No. 214 Sqn, ME Flight. 85693 John Cherry Watson. Ended up at Stalag Luft III. Last rank appears to be F/O. Watson born Yorkshire 1916, deceased 1996. Regards, Dave
