I read the other words, 'Pilot Officer K. Gosling. Pilot. Royal Air Force. 21st July 1944. Age 19'.
Did I say that one should never go back to renew old acquaintances? Well, as you know Keith was a wireless operator like me. Why should it say pilot on the headstone?
Perhaps not the first time the rank and role have been mistakenly correlated. Equally, as a "Special", perhaps secrecy was still being imposed?
