Treble was recorded under the 28th April by No.1 Torpedo Training Unit, Turnberry.

April 28th 1943, “Wellington LB.239 crashed in sea – Pilot Sgt Wright (Sgt Treble WOP/AG killed)”

The Station Medical Officer recorded the loss on the 29th so it looks like a possible night flight from the 28th. The other 'casualties' were injured.

April 29th 1943, “Wellington Aircraft crashed in sea – 4 casualties – 1 missing. Hampden Aircraft crashed in sea – 4 casualties.”

Hello

LAC William ROSS - 999749 - the Statutory Death Register on the Scotland's People website recoards that he died at 2.50 p.m. at 1301 Govan Road (at that time the Southern General Hospital, now Queen Elizabeth University Hospital), Glasgow, due to coronary thrombosis.

LAC Bryard B. BLACK - RCAF R/74151 - his R.C.A.F. records record that he died at the Station Hospital, R.C.A.F. Station Arnprior, Renfrew County, Ontario, also due to coronary thrombosis. He was taken ill soon after leaving the station in a car to travel to his home at Hallville, Ontario but was returned to the station and died shortly afterwards.
