Sqd.Ldr. Noel William Wright
Royal Air Force 77 Squadron
(d.24th August 1943)
Noel William Wright was my father's cousin They were both born and raised on the Darling Downs, Queensland, Australia.
Noel was an only child whose mother passed away after he was born. My father grew up with Noel and with a lot of cousins. Dad recalls how Noel was hopeless at driving a car, never getting used to the clutch and brakes, angaroo hopping down the road!
Another memory of my father's, was when he received a letter from Noel, stating that he had a few close calls while on previous bombing missions, he had a feeling his time was just about up. When Dad finally received this letter, Noel was killed over Berlin 24 August 1943.
