Sgt. Ronald Etheridge
Royal Air Force 61 Sqdn
from:Manchester
(d.14/15th April 1940)
My father Ronald Etheridge was a pilot with 61 Squadron and went missing whilst on a gardening op on 14th April 1940. Over many years I have been unable to establish what happened to his Hampden as all the crew were listed as missing presumed killed. Possibly another aircraft taking part in that raid returned and somewhere somebody may have just a little information. I have recently provided the authorities with a copy of my father's birth certificate enabling the record at the Runnymede Memorial to now show his correct age at death as 23 and not 35 as previously stated. Any snippets of information about my father or his fellow crew members would be appreciated.
