F/Lt. Richard Corrington Pickering
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 605 Sqdn.
from:Mill Hill, London
(d.22nd Feb 1944)
F/O Ernest James Edwards and his pilot F/L Richard Pickering lost their lives on 22nd February 1944 in a Mosquito of 605 Squadron, out of Bradwell Bay, possibly over France. F/O Ernie was my second cousin and I am trying to find more details of his life in 605 squadron and/or his loss, for his brother. Any information would be very much appreciated.
Update: They are both buried into the Cherbourg Cemetery in France.
