my name is Veronica
I have just read the posts on voy.com and would
dearly love to get hold of those reports and get in contact
with anyone who new my father
Sergeant Douglas Robinson,
he was on board that flight.
I was a baby when he died and sadly never knew him
my mother never told me and would never talk about him.
After 50years it just never went away so i decided to do some research in order to lay it to rest and find my uncle
his brother Brian who also was in the RAF.

I have come across the son of the RAF Chaplin/reverend who was involved in the rescue and I am waiting for information from him.
Apart from the info on this web site I have a photo of the military funeral with some members I presume of the squadron (that also is unknown to me) and know that he along with others from the crash are buried in abingdon.
I was thinking of putting up a website in memory of my father and all the other men who died for the 50th Anniversary next year, and would like to get hold of the passenger list.

Any info and photos would be deeply appreciated.
Veronica

Like Veronica I too lost my Dad, Walter James Owen (Wally) in the same air crash at Sutton Wick. Since this morning we are now exchanging e-mails along with John Cooper.
Although I was told about the crash by my Mum and have newspaper cuttings and photos, I too would be grateful if you could forward me the crash report and any further information you may have.
Thank you.
Linda

Katy, is Pappas name Anthony and one of his sisters Sue. I am more than convinced this is so and if correct please contact me.
Was Popps Pa head of MG Abingdon?
Did Auntie Sue work at Esso Research at the time of that awful inncodent?
If so Aunty would have been working with my sisters Corinne and Norma West.
Aunty Sue did marry a chap called Robin, but not for long!
I really look forward to hearing from you.

Andrew West
