Sgt. Horace Sheard
Royal Air Force 236 Squadron
from:Dewsbury
(d.21st March 1941)
My distant relative is Horace Sheard of 236 Squadron.
On the 21st of March 1941 Horace was killed on returning from convoy escort duty (Convoy Scent). Due to very bad weather the crew of the Blenheim bailed out. Horace bailed out over Boscastle but was never found. He was 20. The 2 other aircrew also bailed out and were fortunately ok. The aircraft flew on to Otterham where it crashed near Tregrey Farm.
Horace was a member of The Few and is recorded in all Battle of Britain records. He is also recorded on the Runnymede Memorial.
