    Paul,

    “Born 9 Jan. 1902, a Pilot with Imperial Airways flying out of London who was killed in an aeroplane accident at Cairo on 24 Oct. 1934” (Marlborough College Register)

    He was too young to have served in WWI.

    I admit I made a Gamon mi-Steak on that – The G.P. Gamon referenced might be an uncle? Gilbert Percival Gamon born 1871

    But I am also sure Marlborough College not correct in all details..

    I can only find 1 Geoffrey Gamon born for reflevant date (1902)

    From London Gazette

    Mr. Geoffrey Percival Gamon, of the Kaleyards Works, Steel Casement Maker, Chester,

    Now running another company and being a pilot of another may not be impossible.. But I am not yet convinced in this case especially as you show in in Kenya in the later 1920s…..

    Not convince the Hurricane has a two bladed prop, unless the broken prop at rear has broken off and its pictured cranked down.. Looks like a three bladed angle to me

    The last 3 digits looks like 869 to me so we are looking for xn869

    Maybe I say maybe.. P3869 of No 1 (F) RCAF Squadron made a crash landing at Biddenden on 26-8-1940.

    [QUOTE=Merlin3945;1715823]Paul,
    I have just downloaded the Death Register entry and it clearly states 1942 [QUOTE]

    Yes sorry Typo… I mean’t 1942

    Also you state that the aircraft crashed into the ground at night. _ My reference is the Air Britain Crash Lists… which has FHGN

    which means Flew (into) High Ground the N means Night..
