Thank you Cynicalint !

Have wondered for years about an uncle killed in the FAA, without knowing too much about him other than that my first name and middle initial were called after him.
My parents divorced when I was 5, so never had more than 2 or 3 meetings with my father afterwards, who was a Nav/Obs on Beaufighters and Mossies with 235 Squadron out of Portreath and Banff.
Thanks to your website link suggestion, and another from there, I now know that my uncle (his brother) was killed in a Fulmar of 809 Squadron off HMS Victorious way up north in July '41.

Thanks again !
