I was reading a book written by a [fellow] Kiwi Wing Commander, and read about the demise of an ancestor-I have been trying to find out more... It happened that on 24.05.1944, 3 Typhoons attacked a German Radar installation in this area-the 2nd aircraft had it's tail shot off by flak, but attempted to discharge it's rockets then evade the target-the 3rd Typhoon [my ancestor] in trying to avoid the damaged 2nd aircraft, collided with it, and both crashed into the base of the installation, which was destroyed also. He was a Flight Sgt, but CWGC records state he was a Pilot Officer-Any information on him and Next of Kin [from Billingham, Co. Durham,] much appreciated....
