Hi Henk
An accident at Lyneham would probably be registered at Chippenham but if any on board were taken to hospital it would likely be RAF Wroughton, and a later death there would be registered at Swindon.

Gents,
AB 'Aeromilitaria' has for "3"-11-1940: Anson I - L7926 - 6 FTS - flew into high ground 3 miles NE of Lacock, Wiltshire. Could STEELE have been a casualty on this aircraft ?
Regards,

Gents,

finger trouble again! The Lysander serial should read T1614.
