I could not find any record for Sgt William McFALL (or MacFall) in the Scottish Statutory records. I cannot gain access to the Scottish National War Memorial at present so it may be possible there is some information there.

Thanks Malcolm & Douglas.
Douglas: MacFALL at age over 50 may have been natural causes or non-flying accident.

The only additinal information I have found re William McFall was from the Scottish National War Memorial database which indicates he was born in Blantyre, Lanarkshire and the theatre of death is described as RAF Ferry
