I can't see this name on the registers at all. For any quarter. Nor can I see him in Flight magazine.

There is a 41 year old John Harding registered in NEWTON district which might be Newton district lancs, as opposed to Newton Abbot district, Devonshire. The latter I can see from the same page is written 'Newton A.'

Thanks Dennis. 919 (Balloon Sqn - Birkenhead) had another member doas two days later (20-1-1941) who's death was registered at Birkenhead (LAC Rupert R. McNEIGHT - 853883).
Regards,
Henk.
