Alain,
CWGC provides likely answers for two: W/Cdr Neville Ernest Wetherell Pepper and Sgt (Obs.) Thomas Eric Hyde, both killed on 3 Jun 1941 with 139 Squadron. Unfortunate in a sense that these names were found on CWGC... Groet, Leendert

Hello Leendert and Alain57,
If I do remember well, they were killed flying from Malta...I can be wrong, as my files are back home, but I do remember the name of W/C Pepper being related to an anti-ship mission though. Maybe someone else can add more details ( from 139 ORB ). Yours Baumgartner
