206684 F/O Eaton Geoffrey Cubitt Royal Air Force 102 Squadron from:Southampton (d.13th Mar 1941) My grandfather's account states that his twin engined plane developed problems over the Dutch coast and had to return to base. My uncle Geoffrey was the copilot. The plane got back to England but crashed into trees killing both the pilots. He was aged 23 years at the time and joined the RAFVR at the start of the war having been in the Flying Corps when he was at New College, Oxford. My father told me that he had previously flown fighters but I have no records of his service. I have his medals and a photograph of him in uniform.
