Sgt. Edward George Nickels

Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 78 Squadron

from:Wood Green, London

(d.30th July 1943)

Uncle Teddy died when his Halifax went down into the Channel on the night of the 29th July 1943 following a bombing raid, 17 years before I was born. He was 19. I only know that the plane was spotted on fire coming back to base before ditching. I believe one body was eventually recovered but not the wreckage. I'd love to hear about any other families who had relatives who might have flown with Uncle Teddy.
