SPITFIRE P9468

Pilot of TE183 was Sgt A T Paramanathan – Cummings, Final Landings

A quick look on FreeBMD gives a death registration for Kenneth S Harvey aged 23 in the first quarter of 1946 as Northumberland South.

May or may not be your man but you can see a better location of death and the cause by ordering up a copy of the death cert from the GRO (General Registry Office) quoting Vol 10b Page 398.

If this is not the man then he died outside England/Wales but I suspect that the record is for Kenneth Spencer Harvey.

Armed with a copy of the death cert then you could apply to RAF Disclosures at RAF Cranwell for a copy of his full service record (25 years after death outside service this is available to anyone).

I checked out crashes in 1946 and found a reference to a Spitfire Mk XVI TW183 of 61 OTU that crashed in the cicuit at Keevil could the Pilot have been Kenneth Harvey.
Many thanks again in advance
