Leading Aircraftman Harold Knight was lost when the engine of Martinet I EM473 failed off Whitstable, Kent.
At the time 567 Squadron were an Anti-Aircraft Cooperation Unit based at Detling with a detachment at Eastchurch.

'RAF Squadrons' - C G. Jefford.
And thanks to members of RAF Commands.

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
