World War Two / Re: Air Force Lookups - if you need help

Thank you so much for this quick response. My mother, who still lives in England, has been to visit the grave at Chapel Allerton. I live in Australia now and recently came across a beautiful photo of his grave:

I would so love to know more about my grandfathers service history - his squadron, type of plane flown, details of any missions and the two crashes if anyone can help.

I would love some help in finding out information on Eric Edward Frisby, Royal Air Force 1054490, who was my grandfather.
There are so many questions I should have asked my grandmother before she passed away at the grand age of 94. I came across a photo of his grave and felt I needed to keep alive the final inscribed words of "treasured memories" now my grandmother has gone. My mother would like to know more details of her father's life and my three children have asked so many questions that I cannot answer about the person they see in the one photo we have.
I know he was a Wireless Operator/Air Gunner and killed in a plane crash on the Isle of Man on 9th September 1941. I have no other details of the accident. What was he doing on the Isle of Man? What did he do before that? My mother tells me she thinks there was another plane crash before he was relocated to Jerby. Any information of any kind would be so lovely to have and to share.
