William Joseph Sparkes

Royal Air Force 514 Sqd.

(d.14th Mar 1945)

My Uncle, William Joseph Sparkes, served with 514 Squadron, he was a WOp/Gunner and was killed by flack whilst returning from the Rhur, which I believe he had volunteered for, on 14th March 1945.

He was part of the crew which comprised of:-

  • Captain; K. G. Condict
  • Navigator; E.G. Winterbourne
  • Bomb Aimer; E. L. Thistlewood
  • MUG; P. L. Capon
  • Rear Gunner; E. Cornwell
  • WOP; W. J. Sparkes
If anyone can add to these details or point me in the right direction to do further research, I would be very pleased to hear from you.
