Henk, Just going back through all your old postings and I have the pilot of Lysander L4754 as being P/O A B Corbett and a.n.other being injured and L4754 as coming down not near Wakfield but 5 miles north of York, and just to the south of Sutton on the Forest.

Not that that has helped your original query ! regards Rich

A late addition, Cpl. H Moore is listed in late 1940 Flight magazine as DOAS.

Robert Bell 512107 , attached to Number 1 Training Centre , Kidbrooke, died in Lewisham hospital of multiple injuries sustained when he hit a tram standard whilst riding a motorcycle

This corrects fully my previously partially cross read entry for this Airman

[jonheyworth]

Keith Reginald Dean 967882 , attached to Number 1 EFTS , was dangerously injured at 17;00 Hours on 27 June in a flying accident in DH82A Tiger Moth II N6921. When it crashed near Hatfield Aerxodrome, dying the following day of compound fractures

Fred ( FREDERICK in his records ) Bowery 519334 , Clerk GD , was riding his motorcycle combination along with his friend Corporal John Norman Hyde Kerr , when they left Bowery's home at Finsbury Park at 22:00 Hours. At Midnight in Aylesbury, they gave an Airman named Haywood a lift on the pillion seat . Opposite Ivy House , Ludgershall , at 00:30 Hours, they collided with an oncoming Army truck driver by Signaller Potvin with Signaller Blackburn as driver mate and Signaller Mcarthy as passenger. . The motorcycle became lodged under the lorry and burst into flames , burning Potvin badly on the head, face, right hand and left leg . Kerr was burnt and injured and Heywood suffered lesser injuries. Bowery however was trapped under the lorry and died of extensive burns, a fractured skull and severe arm and leg fractures.

The Chris Hobson entry is totally erroneous
