225455 Arthur Victor Cannings Royal Air Force 210 Squadron The piece I have is from my cousin Arthur Cannings: "At Sulloy Voe, Shetland Islands on the 25th of March 1944, Catalina JX210 of 210 Squadron, narrowly missed us in JX243 as it crashed beside a small croft, killing all on board. In around 1985 I painted a watercolour of catalina FP131 and added an imaginary shetland background, including that croft. In June 2005 I attended a Squadron reunion at Stratford upon Avon, a lady named Mary was introduced, whose fiance, Bill Hurd was 2nd Pilot to F/Lt Keates. She was seeking information and was pleased to learn something of the crash. I later sent her my watercolour as an 80th Birthday present and received a full scale print in return. A remarkable fact that the small croft should prove significant after so long."
