Benito is buried in Merthyr Tydfil, which partially fits with the comment that 'they were Welsh' | Dave,
Could not find a loss for Sgt. S A. Benito. Could only come up with the surname 'Solari' that could match. It's looking very much as though the crew of the Oxford were Carr, Nixon and Solari, but I'd rather find more proof before I finally make my mind up. Hope to get back with more info soon.

On weald of Kent I watched once more
Again I heard that grumbling roar
Of fighter planes; yet none were near
And all around the sky was clear
Borne on the wind a whisper came
'Though men grow old, they stay the same'
And then I knew, unseen to eye
The ageless Few were sweeping by
