Thanks Finn and Mark

He had completed 12 Ops as a Nav with 158 Sqn before moving to 10 Sqn in March 1945. I know that 10 Sqn moved to India in the Transport role but had disbanded before his date of death. He appears therefore at some time to have moved across to 232 Group. I'm just unable to discover whether his death was aviation related or natural causes

Cheers

Eddie

Courtesy of 'Flight', I've now discovered that he 'Died on Active Service' so 'natural causes' is favourite
