Sgt. Keith Rowe
Royal Canadian Air Force 424 Squadron
from:Southerndown, Bridgend
Keith Rowe died at the respectable age of 92 years. He was so proud to have served in 424 Squadron flying a total of 193hrs over Europe, 130hrs of which were night time operations, before being posted to Luqa in Malta where he flew missions over Cairo West, El Aouina, Tunis and Elmas, Sardinia.
Keith seldom spoke of his experiences but never forgot his companions in 424, particularly the men who never flew home. The memories he kept to himself were too sensitive and raw, even during his final days, but he did hold these men in the highest regard and was honoured to serve alongside them.
