Yes, I do have a copy which I photographed during one of my visits to Kew.

I've had a look through and there is no mention of Sgt Wilson in the Llandwrog, Penrhos or Station Sick Quarters sections for July or August.

Thanks for checking Alan, it remains a mystery for now then!

Cheers, Tom

Thanks all for your support.
Hurricane Z5220 killing GALE may have been repaired as it was delivered 4-9-43 to Portugal.
The mentioned Henley lost 20-11-1942 was L3334 of 1605 Flt, killing P/O Walther J. HAVIES - 127917 - refer to www.nantlle.com/history-tanrallt-plane-crash.htm.

And http://www.peakdistrictaircrashes.co.uk/pages/wales/walesn4981.htm for the Anson which was lost on the 20th.

Parsons was killed when he jumped from 278 Sqn Lysander V9277 without a parachute. It is believed he had "domestic problems" and committed suicide. AHB told W/O Mick Jennings MBE that Parsons baled out "over the North Sea" during research for his Coltishall book (278 Sqn were based at the satellite, Ludham) but his body was found 10 miles from Ludham.
He is buried at Scottow (Coltishall) Cemetery.

Not to forget the George Lunn on CWGC is age 22 and that matches a name and age in Dailly district, Ayr, Scotland. Jolly and MaGuire also return for this distrct.

Linked to Beaufort AW384 (I think on the 14th november, see that thread).

[dennis_burke]

Sgt I L Parsons is listed KIA on the Times Casualty listing Feb 11th 1943.

Lunn is KOAS but see the thread for the 14th.

I think that the crew of Whitley Z9134 were:
P/O T Mason
Sgt B Bamford
Sgt J Mallett
Sgt R Parker

There was a 5th member of the crew a Sgt FWJ Allfrey, the accident was 13 November 1942 at Hougham just north of Grantham, with Oxford V3905 piloted by Sgt A J Stone. My mother was married to Frederick Allfrey.
