Howya Douglas,

can you clarify this entry again, does the death record state 'found at Sinclair Bay'? and is it the 9th that the body was found. Just asking for henk, we have given him conflicting information in the past.

regards

Dennis, Douglas,
Deleted GREY's name from crash sheet Z9518 and transferred back to the long list of airmen unaccounted for (KOAS 5-8-1942 - found 9-9-1942 - registered 10-9-1942).

Dennis

It's Lancaster. His death was reported in the Lancaster Guardian on August 7th. He was riding pillion on a motor cycle ridden by his brother Eric, which collided with a van at the junction of Blea Tarn Road and Hala Road the previous evening, and he died in the Royal Lancaster Infirmary. The article states that his brother Eric, who had been married the previous Saturday, was seriously injured.
