What was the place of death registration for AC2 Harry J.G. ELLIS - 1807919, whose name couldn't be found Flight Global.

Also looking for info on Sgt Andrew H. McG. SMITH - 1367307 (in Casualty Communiqué 195, Flight 28-1-1943 page 107, is an A.M. SMITH listed as 'Missing').

Proposed aircraft losses:

Magister I - L8257 - 10 FIS - crashed on landing Waltham St.Lawrence LG.
Master II - W9096 - RAFC - crashed on landing Cranwell South.

Hi Henk
CWGC has Andrew Hamilton McGhee Smith as buried in Glasgow, but I did find a registration for an Andrew H M Smith,32(age as on CWGC) in Bristol which could mean that he was taken home for burial, perhaps after an Air Raid in which he was not initially found or identified, hence the "Missing" report
Warner gives no casualties on Blenheim V 6178 at East Fortune which suffered an undercarriage collapse and was later made into a training airframe
Regards
Dick
