| Catalina AH560 Loss 23 May 1941 | I wonder can some one educate me on this supposed loss and the civilian named below. I gathered these names on CWGC, all on the Runnymede memorial. F/Lt C M Scrutton 70613 RAFO RM Panel 29 CWGC -> No unit listed but GRO RAF Lists him with 210 Sqn F/O R S Collis J/7756 RCAF P/O K G A Marsh 88696 RM Panel 33 CWGC -> 82 Sqn GRO RAF Deaths list him as 210 Sqn F/Sgt J R Massey 590895 RM Panel 37 CWGC -> 210 Sqn Sgt R F Brooks 552807 RM Panel 40 CWGC -> 210 Sqn Sgt L Littlefair 552216 RM Panel 47 CWGC -> 210 Sqn AC1 H S McKeown RM Panel 57 CWGC -> 210 Sqn LAC R E Brodie 906384 Runnymede Panel 56 CWGC -> 210 Sqn There is a F/Lt R W Gautrey 37674 MiD listed that same day on the Malta Memorial but unit is 201 Squadron which was based back home. This site describes him thus: http://www.warmemorial.firstworldwarrelics.co.uk/html/raf_wwii.html GAUTREY, REGINALD WILLIAM, 127, Cromwell Road. 37674, Flight Lieutenant, 201 Squadron, Royal Air Force.

F/L Gautrey had transferred to No.45 Group and was involved with Catalina Atlantic Ferry duties at the time of his death. Catalina I AH560 of OADU went missing between Azores and Portugal on this date. And we have previously briefly discussed this aircraft so I've half answered my own question I guess! http://www.rafcommands.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=printer_format&om=335&forum=DCForumID6 http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/showthread.php?t=938 Might the loss of the civilian Geoffrey Valentine CAMERON be related to the loss of AH560: http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=3168800 I can get only this snippet for him on google books: The Solicitors' journal The Solicitors' journal - Page 54 Law - 1942 Mr. Geoffrey Valentine Cameron, Legal Secretary to the Government of Malta, is presumed to have lost his life as the result of an aircraft accident at sea, on the 23rd May, 1941, aged thirty-seven. ... ....Read More. | dennis_burke on 30th August 2009 07:20:52 |
