Sgt.Pilot. Robert Short "Roy" Timewell

Royal Air Force 539 Squadron

from:Burscough, Lancs

(d.4th Oct 1942)

Sgt.Pilot Robert Timewell was a distant cousin of my wife, her surname is also Timewell which is quite an unusual name. He was assigned to 539 Squadron. In October 1942, he took off without permission and flew over his hometown of Burscough to perform aerobatics for his family but it went horribly wrong and he crashed his Hurricane into the local playing field killing himself instantly. We visit his grave when we can. The pub his parents owned is still there trading under another name.
