Went to the GNFI on Saturday,
What can I say, fantastic atmosphere, very relaxed and informal, Burgers were classics, All stands and displays fully interactive.

Will be going next year, hats off to Storm and his team for an enjoyable day.

Well done

Hi Simon,
Definately over Eshott, one crashed at Burgham the other at Felton,
Now it could also be pilot baled out and landed at felton.

possible, Provost, or Meteor, no casualties.

It would appear the body washed up at Skegness was that of AC1 Alfred Charles Laurens,
one of three occupants of a bomber which crashed on mud flats,Holbeach marsh, Lincs 7 Nov 1938.
Times newspaper 15th Nov 1938.

Yes it would appear Sgt. Curl’s body was not recovered.

Gents,
It would appear Sgt WA Curl’s body was not recovered,
The index shows him as having ‘died at sea’.

Can anyone provide the service numbers for AC1 J Millican and Sgt WA Curl.

thank you

Kev
cheers

its a start towards confirmation.
I understand from newsclippings of the day (provided by Joe Millican’s cousin) that six aircrew had died on that day in the UK one washed up in Skegness, I have no idea if it was Pilot Sgt WA Curl.

Sandra,
The copy of the service record is invaluable, however, the average waiting time at the present is 8 months for delivery.

But worth the wait.

John,

I have the newspaper coverage of the day, no pictures, however I do have a contact who is to provide me pictures of the crash in the next week or so,
fingers crossed,

Any luck with the crew’s service numbers?

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for your reply,
It is possible that K8529s ID was ‘F’!
