Re the shape of Mrs Lucas’ headstone, the notches indicate a civilian grave. As her death was not due to enemy action she would not appear on the CWGC civilian war dead roll-of-honour. I would assume that when the temporary wartime grave markers were replaced by the permanent CWGC ones, Mrs Lucas’ headstone was replaced at the same time, even though her death was not due to enemy action. Possibly this required someone other than the CWGC to pay for her headstone, such as her husband.

The CWGC website information re the plot contains this information. The plot also contains two graves which are not war graves. A civilian, the wife of an airman at the R.A.F. Station. was buried there in 1941; as was an airman from the station who died in 1948

It is Daz, BTW they are supposed to be doing a 1/18 Bf110 I think next year!!! That really will be something else.

Actually it’s none!

You said read THIS and count the F’s. As far as I can see there are no F’s in THIS unless you have one hell of a speech impediment.

Reminds me of the old ‘I saw Essau sitting on a see-saw. How many S’s in that?’

I shall probably visit either the grave of a local airman, or one who lost his life locally.

A visit to the German war graves cemetery remains as something I’d really like to do before too long.

The Phantom was present by October 1995, but when it arrived I don’t know.

‘Poles in defence of Britain’ has no aircrew listed by the name of ‘Lukascowisz’, but it does list three Polish piolots by the name of ‘Lukaszewicz’

P/O Marian Lukaszewicz was with 616 Sqn from 8.11.40 to 21.1.41 & they were based at Kirton-in-Lindsey from 9.9.40 to 26.2.41.

P/O Kazimierz Lukaszewicz was killed on the 21.8.40.

P/O Stanislaw Lukaszewicz joined 317 Sqn on the 26.3.41 from 55 OTU which was not based at Kirton.

Sorry Dan, but in ‘Jagdwaffe, Vol 2, Sec 3, Battle of Britain Sept-Oct 1940‘ the image in your post (No 10) is captioned as showing the Bf 109E-3 of Uffz Josef Heinzeller, who named his aircraft after his pet dog ‘Schnauzl’.

I thought that you might be intersted in these two replies to a thread I started on the BoBHS board regarding the existence of this thread.

Stephanie Bladen

Thank you very much for the very moving article on the unveiling of the plaque memorial dedicated to my uncle (my father’s brother) Flt Lt Pat Hughes. He was the first pre-war graduate of Point Cook RAAF College, Victoria to be awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. We, his family, are very proud of his distinguished war record and the part he played in the defence of Britain during World War 11. On behalf of Pat’s family (he has one surviving sister, Mrs C Torbett of Sydney, out of 11 siblings, as well as many nieces and nephews) many thanks to the Hall brothers and The Battle of Britain Historical Society for this commemoration service. Lest We Forget.

and

It is fantastic to see the plaque erected for my Uncle Pat Hughes.It has been a long time coming. I have been talking to Tony Hall now for the best part of five year’s about this. The family here in Australia would like to thank everyone in England for what they have done to remember my Uncle.
Well Done and best wishes to you all

Malcolm Booth
