|
| ...the hunt is on for
relatives of Pilot Officer E.F.S. Travis (aka
Ernest, Fleetwood, Street, Till)
Royal Air Force (Formally from Formby). |
| |
| Daniel Hunt of the
Wings Museum has found a tragic record regarding
the above in the Operation Record Book for
Redhill Aerodrome, for 20th June 1944. This
reads as follows: |
| |
| 20.6.1944 13:00 hours. Pilot
Officer E.F.S. Travis (157020) was
accidentally killed shortly after noon. He
was on duty in the watch office when guns
of a Spitfire standing on the airfield were
accidentally fired by the pilot. |
| |
| This incident occurred directly
next to the Wings Museum
building at Redhill Aerodrome
and we feel it would be a fitting tribute
to include some information about P.O.
Travis within the Wings Museum. We
are also hoping to erect a memorial plaque
close to where this tragic accident happened
as we feel it is of vital importance to remember
and pay respect to those who lost their lives
while on active service, indeed this is what
the Wings Remembrance Museum
is all about. |
