Sgt. Alfred Thompson
Royal Air Force 90 Squadron
from:Carlisle
(d.23rd June 1943)
Alfred Thompson served with 90 Squadron. I was his 4 year old cousin, at the time he lost his life, my birthday is the same as the date he was killed.
The story from my aunt which I learned was that, the bail out command had been issued. The pilot of the plane was unable to get out of his seat (due to firepower injuries). My cousin was readying himself for bail out but calls from his best friend (the pilot) had him go to his aid. Time ran out for them and two others who were afraid to jump. I understand three of the crew survived who related the story.
I would like to have access to any formal records that would be available.
