Gaining An R.A.F Pilots Brevet In WW II

[Danny42C]

P2 R.M. Willis and P4 P.J. Martin (RIP both).

ORAC, ScouseFlier, wilyflier, goofer3, and papajuliet,

Light seems to have dawned at last. It would seem that poor Martin was killed in Driffield on 8th March '50, but the death was mistakenly reported to me (in SSQ) as that of Willis.

I would think this impossible, were it not for the fact that it had happened to me before (read my #2667 p.134). A chap called Tony Davies was killed on 110 Sqdn in Burma; the death was widely reported (and believed to be), that of a Reg Duncan, whom I knew well. (Peter C. Smith, in "Vengeance!" - 1986 - Airlife Publishing Ltd.) was deceived, too).

Coincidentally, Willis was killed at Driffield on 17 October '50.

If there is another explanation, I should be grateful to hear it,

Thank you all for help and interest,

Danny42C.
