501125 William Marquis RAF VR 227 Squadron / 102 Squadron (d.1945/11/08) I have been researching my family history and have obtained the personnel records for my half-brother William Marquis. The record shows that he was assigned to 227 Squadron on 12th April 1945 after discharge and appointment to RAF VR. There is a further entry for 227 Squadron dated 18th June 1945 which is some 10 days after 227 Squadron either moved from RAF Strubby or was disbanded. The next entry is at RAF Snaith dated 17th September 1945 followed by what seems to be an entry for 102 Squadron dated 20th or possibly 26th September 1945. He was with 102 Squadron based at RAF Bassingbourn when he was killed on active service at Abington Piggotts on 08/11/1945 when his plane crashed shortly after take off. I know it is a long shot but any information anyone may have on William would be appreciated.
