216769 P/O. Ivor Bramwell "Taffy" Jenkins RAFVR 59 Squadron from:Blaengarw (d.24th June 1944) My uncle, P.O. Ivor Bramwell Jenkins, was pilot of Liberator V H (FL977). It was on patrol on June 24th 1944. He was returning after a 16 hour flight to Ballykelly. The fog was so bad that he tried 3 time to land but crashed into Benvenegah mountain. All on board were killed. The Irish Wreckology world war 2 group built a memorial cross at the site of the crash. As the sole surviving relative of the family, I am most grateful for this. The account of the crash is in the book,"Covering the Approaches" by John Quinn and Alan Reilly. Update: Taffy Jenkins was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Jenkins, of Blaengarw. He died age 24 is buried at Row G. Grave 23 Pontycymmer Cemetery.
