beaforddave,

Your uncle, Fg Off Walter Ralph Price, was flying Venom WR357 of 8 Squadron and was leading a pairs attack on a target, located in a wadi, with cannon. However, the pull out was misjudged and the aircraft struck rising ground about 200 feet above the level of the Wadi.

The location is one mile south of Lazarak.

Fg Off Price is commemorated in the Roll of Honour in St Clement Danes Church in the Strand and also on the wall of the Armed Forces Memorial at Alrewas Staffordshire. If you have not visited this memorial, it is most impressive and well worth a visit - very moving.
