Flt.Sgt. Philip Claude Pink

Royal Air Force 578 Squadron

from:Sutton, Surrey

(d.21st Jul 1944)

Because my family (The Pinks) is almost extinct, I am desperate to find out more about my first cousin, Philip Pink, who was tragically killed in action at the young age of just 21 while serving with Bomber Command. Philip was the son of Ada Pink, my father's sister, born in Sutton, Surrey c1923 but actually brought up by our grandmother, Harriet, to avoid the stigma associated with illegitimacy at that time.

He was a flight sergeant based at RAF Burn with 578 Squadron and was killed on 21st July, 1944. I would love to hear from anyone who can remember him or has any information about him or his wife, Muriel, who he married in 1942, or their baby girl who I think was called Jean. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
