Flt Lt Francis S Banner DFC and Bar

Hi,

After duties as a front line fighter pilot with 243 and 145 Sqn's in Tunisia and Sicily Flt Lt Banner joined Vickers-Supermarine as a test pilot.

On 31 August 1945 he was flying a Spitfire when it crashed at High Post. He later died of injuries sustained in the crash.

Would anyone have any further details of the Spitfire he was flying? Also any idea where High Post is?

Thanks,

Alex
