On 15 December 1970 Canberra XM267 of 3 Squadron crashed at Akrotiri killing its crew: F/O’s R.G ELLIS and R.C.M MACMILLAN. I have a copy of the accident card but am seeking photo’s and any further details of those killed, together with images of the aircraft.
Although I’d love to make contact with any ex members of 3 Squadron, I’d also be interested to hear of any publications featuring the crew or aircraft.
Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks Geoff, the accident card has Ellis, RCM MacMillan and 1 other (now identified as the unfortunate joy riding SAC). Thanks for these details they are very helpful as I had no forenames for Macmillan and nothing at all for the third casualty.

Stan,
I looked this incident up in ‘Lost to service’, and Colin Cummings has the crew as F/O Roderick Colin Murray Macmillan and Senior Aircraftman Kim Colin Petty-Fitzmaurice, both killed. There’s no mention of anyone else on board.
Geoff.
