I knew F/O Roger Thomas Coulston. The crash was on 13.10.1956 and he died on 14.10.1956. He is buried at Biggin Hill Cemetry grave 224, very sad RAF headstone and getting difficult to read, saying 'The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible.' His father was a vicar and he came from Devon, though I do not know where in Devon. Roger loved flying and was happy and fun. By chance I was on the beach when he flew low over Littlehampton. I am angry that the RAF could not have grouped these pilots together and kept a roll of honour in the Biggin Hill Chapel. They all deserve better. Good luck with your endeavours.
