Thanks Dick. Had a hope to learn that Med Offr RENNIE had been killed on Master T8483 (Castle Combe), the a/c flown by S/Ldr DRYERRE (DoW at Ely) ! Now their names remain on the "unaccounted" list.

F1180 gives Mahon and 1 other killed in crash of Tiger Moth X9318 of RAF Station Newton.

So would pencil in Harrison for this as well based on registration district.

Hello,

Would be interested to know where the Tiger Moth X9318 crashed and why, if these data are available in F1180.

Thanks in advance
