Kent / Re: NEW KENT WAR MEMORIAL WEBSITE!
« on: Monday 18 February 08 11:08 GMT (UK)  »
Having only last week joined and posted on Rootschat, has resulted in additional numerous requests for information. Unfortunately due to my constraints of time, including spending in excess of 80 hours a week in preparation for www.kentfallen.com going on line last year, and every week since then, it is  unfortunately not possible for us to carry out additional individual research for people. It was noticed that amongst those requesting specific information, 22 'answers' were already on www.kentfallen.com. I hope that this post does not cause offence, but it seemed a quick way to inform people, as we had noticed that a substantial number of hits on www.kentfallen.com have been via Rootschat, as have many kind comments.
Kindest regards to all

World War Two / Re: accident in 1941,need more info, but where ?

Today I received a message, re your post requesting information on the accident of 23 August 1941. As I was not a Rootschat member, I had not realized that your post to which a friend made mention was a few months old, and as suspect that by now you already have the basic information that you require. Unfortunately due to my time commitments with the website www.kentfallen.com I am not in a position to offer detailed help, but here goes:-
The accident involved a 114 Squadron, R.A.F., Blenheim IV bomber which was on a training flight. It crashed after colliding with a house at Cannons Park, Edgeware, Middlesex. At the time of the crash visability in the area was extremely poor.
In addition to your friend, the following airmen also lost their lives in the crash:-
Pilot Officer N.F. THOMPSON.
Pilot Officer J.M. DOBSON.
Pilot Officer H.J. FULLER.
I was going to add details of the above officers for you, but the CWGC website is down until 2100 hours tonight. But when it is up and running you can check the three casualties.
I suspect that you are also probably aware that 114 Squadron, was the first R.A.F. to be equipped with Bristol Blenheim's. Again I am sorry if what I have posted is what you knew already, but thought that I tell, Just in case it is of use.
Best Wishes. kentfallen 1.
