Mike Davison married my aunt Vallery. He was a keen golfer and an excellent pianist. They lived in Littlestone, New Romney. I visited them many times. Their daughter was born shortly before his death, (in the British Eagle Britannia crash at Innsbruck, 29th February 1964.)
He was a great guy who I liked and admired immensely .
I did not know about the incident at Picauville!! (There was a certain sadness about my uncle, maybe the incident was part of the cause!)
He flew for Sliver City on the Bristol Freighter, down at Lydd and took part in the Berlin Airlift.
He was awarded the DFC and Bar, 12 kills plus a V1 I think. (No doubt your dad had a huge part to play in his night fighter success!!)
Any info you have I would be grateful on your dad’s involvement with Uncle Mike during the war.
I became an airline pilot myself, (now retired thankfully, 22000 flying hours later!!!)
kind regards Peter
