Sgt. Geoffrey Louis McInerny
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserves 12 Squadron
from:Bedford Park, Middlesex
(d.22nd Oct 1941)
This story is written to the best of my memory, as there are none of the family left from that time. Geoffrey McInerny was aged 23 when he was killed. On returning from a mission the aircraft crashed on the edge of the airfield. The only survivor was the tail gunner who, because of wounds, was unable to come forward as was apparently normal practice.
Geoffrey was the son of Augustine Aloysius and Louisa Marian McInerny, he is remembered with honour and lies in Binbrook (St. Mary) Churchyard.
