Hi Henk
Gladwell,29, is registered at Gloucester East, this could put him in the Mohawk but the other Gloucester incident is further South and closer to Bristol, Kellett,20, is registered at Buckrose in E Yorkshire, Lloyd,20, is registered at Andover

Hi Henk

On 8/1/41 Blenheim IV R3695 from 2 (C) OTU at Catfoss landed at Driffield in the rain and hit and killed an airman on the ground. I do not know the airmans name, but Kellett is a possibility given the place of registration
