F/O. Kenneth G. Bellingham
Royal Air Force 106 Squadron
from:Leeds, Yorkshire
(d.21st Jun 1944)
Ken Bellingham and I were in the same form at Leeds Modern School from 1932 to 1935. After graduation, I never saw Ken until 20th June 1944. I was in my office in the station store when a F/O walked in. I looked up and said "Hello, Ken, what brings you here" His reply was that he was pilot to a replacement crew lost a few days previously in 106 Squadron and that he was scheduled to go out that night.
I never saw him again, he was killed on 21st June, but wrote a letter of condolence to his parents, and saw that his possessions were dispatched to the same address.
