Date of Death: 19/06/1943
Service No: 402516
Additional information: Son of George and Adeline Cromie, of Rakaia, Canterbury, New Zealand.

Shipdham airfield is not to far away from Cranworth so might be a poss connection.

Thinking about it, before the 44th arrived at shipdham in 1942-43 the was briefly a sterling group based there and i believe also some fighters very briefly so it could be connected. thanks for the information. does anyone know where i can look to find out all the information?

Hi,

An accident towing a drogue in an air firing exercise. He crashed in the sea while flying a Martinet of 11 OTU. Date is shown in Errol Martyn’s books as 19 June.

it might seem a daft question, but why his he buried at Cranworth 40 miles from the sea???

i Seem to recall the pilot was taking part in target practice a few weeks before the end of the war and flew into the sand bank.

As you drive from Dereham to Fakenham, just before you reach the Mileham crossroads there is a bungalow set back from the road on the right, look behing it and you can see an aircraft under a tarp i belive there is also a small hanger behind the house as well- dont know if it is used though!
