Sgt. Kenneth Naylor
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 101 Squadron
from:High Wycombe, Bucks
(d.30th Nov 1941)
I understand that Ken Naylor, who was 21, was in a flight over the North Sea when there was engine trouble causing the plane to ditch. His mother states two crew members were picked up by fisherman and became German prisoners of war. Ken and at least two others died.
In a documentary shown in England in 2011 an ex Wellington pilot called 'Tiny' Cooling spoke about Ken as a young flyer who everybody liked but nobody took any notice of because he looked like he was 'just out of his pram'. Cooling commented that he once found Ken weeping like a child because his best friend hadn't returned. Three weeks later Cooling was clearing out Ken's room because he hadn't returned.
