Personnel Index - Detail
Due only to the map of burial plots given to us by Christine & Charles (Cemetery Superintendents) were we able to locate the exact position of Sgt B G Davies's grave.
We collected a few flowers that had been scattered by the wind to mark his grave for the above photographs.
Hind K6643 was piloted by Sgt B G Davies and collided with Hind K6753 flown by P/O J N Tyrrell over Scampton airfield on the 31st March 1938. AC2 J H Scoberg was a passenger in the aircraft piloted by Sgt B G Davies.
The photograph showing K6643 is courtesy of Dom Howard.
