MARRIOTT John L.R. F/Sgt V0587973 Died Kinloss 29/9/71
I realise it’s bit of a long shot but I wondered if anyone may recall this F/Sgt Flight Engineer who died of a brain haemorrhage at the very young age of 33?
I’ve covered some basic research, but would be interested to hear from anyone who may have known him.

I also wondered if there may have been an RAF Kinloss magazine at the time that may have featured an obituary?
Any assistance appreciated.

Stan register on pprune and ask in the military aircrew forum, full of past and present aircrew.

I see, sorry, not much help then!
If all else fails, is it worth emailing here

and seeing if they have anything either in a newspaper or local magazine?

Yes; that’s the reason for asking!
