Unknown Grave in St Andrew's Church in Tangier
Yesterday, I attended a remembrance parade and placed an RAF wreath on the graves at the Anglican Church in Tangier. There are 10 RAF graves there but only 9 with names.
On 21 February 1944, there was an aircraft crash involving Sgt Downs (Wireless Op/Air Gunner), FS Hamilton (Nav) and Plt Offr MacIntyre (Wireless Op/Air Gunner). However, the 4th grave has the same date and has the inscription ‘known unto God’.
If this person was on board the aircraft, surely his name would have been recorded.
Can anybody shed any light on the missing name or any info behind this flight?
