Title: Flt Lt Robert Bolton Warr.
Post by: Mr-Tomcat on Thursday 10 October 13 17:48 BST (UK)

My other half pointed this headstone out to me earlier, and I was surprised to find it belonged to an airman who died during a flying accident. But where and in what aircraft, and how did he come to be buried at St Mary's at Llanfair yn Neubwll on Anglesey.
I'm assuming that the Flt Lt Robert Bolton Warr is the same one who's name appears in the London Gazzette, service number 195338.
Over to someone else who can do a more detailed search than I'm able to do.

As the death was recorded in the Merioneth North civil registration district, it is assumed that the accident was nearby to that church. Whilst it can also be calculated that he was killed on RAF duty it is just possible that he was in a civilian aircraft or glider on a recreational trip.

For love nor money have I been able to get any details of any accidents that occurred in North Wales in 1949 on that date, nor any leads to Flt Lt Warr.

And the same to yourself.  ;) :) And looking up ain't cheating, and I now have something to use in later searches.  :D

Hi,

This is a link to I believe the answer, although it was started by Mr-Tomcat I thought others may like to know the fate of this airman.
