While reading through Chorley's BCL, I came across the following information: 29 July 1942 Hampden AT113 (408 Squadron) Operation: Air test Squadron Leader L. B. B. Price DFC (RCAF) + Sergeant I. Hughes + Cadet G. Hughes (ATC) + Cadet K. R. Cousin Wood (ATC) + Crashed 1516 while being tested in readiness for the Saarbrücken operation, coming down in a field cropped with oats some 2 miles SE of the airfield. The two Air Training Corps cadets, both aged sixteen, had been taken on the flight for air experience. I was wondering if these ATC cadets could be one of the youngest casulaties in a bomber crash.
hello Pieter there is a thread below re the ATC casualties http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/united-kingdom/27287-air-training-corps-roll-honour.html 001 ANDREWS D A 1247 1247 SQDN 11/07/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 002 AYRES R J -- 26/04/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPSX 003 BALTY G P - 493 SQDN 25/06/1946 AIR TRAINING CORPS 004 BARBER E A -- 16/08/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 005 BEECH K -- 18/06/1944 AIR TRAINING CORPS 006 BLACK L S 4069- 08/08/1944 AIR TRAINING CORPS 007 BOND P -1180 SQDN 08/09/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 008 BROGAN J -- 20/06/1944 AIR TRAINING CORPS 009 BROOMHEAD S G -- 03/03/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 010 BURNS J - 1266 SQDN 27/08/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 011 CARTER R N 46406- 02/08/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 012 CASHEN R A 2181340 SQDN 09/09/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 013 CHERITON J F S -- 21/10/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 014 COLVER D -- 19/07/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 015 COUZIN WOOD K R -408 SQDN 29/07/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 016 CUMMINGS C - 772 SQDN 13/08/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 017 DAVIS A R -- 19/07/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 018 DAWSON A E 9234- 17/06/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 019 FOULKES G -- 04/09/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 020 FOX D J -1180 SQDN 08/09/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 021 GATFIELD P H -708 SQDN 28/03/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 022 HALL E L -1180 SQDN 08/09/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 023 HALL R 116 116 SQDN 26/07/1946 AIR TRAINING CORPS 024 HARBERTSON J-167 SQDN 16/12/1945 AIR TRAINING CORPS 025 HARRIS F J D -- 30/07/1944 AIR TRAINING CORPS 026 HARRISON K -- 18/06/1944 AIR TRAINING CORPS 027 HOLLOWOOD J A 104- 09/09/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 028 HUGHES L -997 SQDN 14/08/1944 AIR TRAINING CORPS 029 HUGHES G -408 SQDN 29/07/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 030 HUGHES W A -- 26/04/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 031 HULL C A -1207 SQDN 02/01/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 032 HUTTON J R 1266 1266 SQDN 27/08/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 033 INGRAM L -1122 MARMION SQDN 20/08/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 034 LAIN W A 1796- 26/07/1946 AIR TRAINING CORPS 035 LONG B V 104 104 CAMBRIDGE SQDN 24/05/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 036 MCALLISTER N - 283 SQDN 29/07/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 037 MOORE D W J 852088- 25/01/1944 AIR TRAINING CORPS 038 MUSTARD G - 1719 SQDN 16/02/1947 AIR TRAINING CORPS 039 PERCIVAL F - 1247 SQDN 11/07/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 040 REGANG B -- 20/04/1945 AIR TRAINING CORPS 041 ROBINSON R G 1603 152 SQDN 20/09/1947 AIR TRAINING CORPS 042 ROLFE P G -- 19/03/1945 AIR TRAINING CORPS 043 SEDDON I H 4340240 - 22/11/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 044 SHAW R J -- 28/08/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 045 SHEARWOOD L 107 - 04/04/1944 AIR TRAINING CORPS 046 SIMS D G W -- 17/08/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 047 SIMS E J -- 17/08/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 048 SMITH J A -- 13/09/1946 AIR TRAINING CORPS 049 SOMBERG D 6847556- 03/01/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 050 STAPLES R L -478 WEMBLEY SQDN 02/04/1944 AIR TRAINING CORPS 051 STAPLETON G A 271 271 SQDN 04/09/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 052 STONE G E K 163 - 11/09/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 053 TROUP D -- 28/02/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 054 WALLACE R S- 493 SQDN 25/06/1946 AIR TRAINING CORPS 055 WHITE L W -- 21/10/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 056 WIGGIN K J-- 04/08/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS 057 WOLTON P E-- 24/03/1942 AIR TRAINING CORPS 058 WOODWARD J D -1434 SQDN 29/08/1943 AIR TRAINING CORPS regards Clive
