Basil Unknown

Royal Air Force

The picture of Basil and his wife were on my mothers sideboard throughout the late 1940s and 1950s. They said he died in the rear turret of a Lancaster bomber. I would recognise his face, I can picture it now. I dont know the surname but believe there cannot be more than one Basil from Yorkshire killed in a Lancaster bomber. If there is a list of rear gunners who died I would love to know.

Editors Note: CWGC lists 1514 airmen named Basil who were lost during the Second World War, we suggest you contact The Airgunners Database
