Title: Help with names on RAF postcard. No. 3
Post by: martin hooper on Friday 27 September 24 10:46 BST (UK)

Hello

Here's the 3rd signature from my 1938 RAF Uxbridge postcard. This one I can't make out the name.

Thanks

Martin

Possibly Reginald James Fane. Killed in a flying accident in 1943. "Crashed at Stannington 4 miles south of the airfield during an attempted forced landing at Morpeth during a training flight" (4 Air Gunners School).

Thanks Shaun

I've put him down as a possible. His service number is much higher than the rest of the group so I think it's unlikely to be him.

Reginald John Farrier. His service number falls right into the sequence.

Thanks for your help.
