Hi Walter are you still in this forum?
I'd like to exchange info about Reuben Giles.
I think he was a distant cousin. I understand he died in a plane crash in 1954 near Berlin flying an Avro York.


Or if anybody else knows about him I would be interested
On 26 Jun 28 1954, a Skyways Ltd Avro York aircraft (Registration:G-AGNY) crashed near Kyritz in the Soviet zone, 50 Miles northwest of Berlin. The crew of three were killed. There was no cargo onboard. The Times newspaper named the three crew as: Capt B S Murphy, First Officer Rube Giles and Radio operator Z I Patterson
