Sgt.Plt. Patrick John Quigley
Royal Air Force No. 55 OTU
from:Aldershot
(d.10th Aug 1942)
Sgt.Pilot PJ Quigley was the uncle I never met. I know very little about his pre-war years and I am still researching his brief life. I do know that he was sent to the USA for training prior to being posted to No.55 OPU Annan. He died on 10th August 1942 aged 23 while flying a Hurricane (V7067). His plane crashed into Kirtlehead Hill, Lockerbie. His body was returned to his home town crashing and is buried at the Redan Hill Cemetery in Aldershot.
