My great uncle Ted was a pilot instructor at 39 sfts in 1942/43, unfortunatly he was killed in a flying accident in Nov.1943.Any copies of photos of him single or group would be very much appreciated,to help complete my research on him.His service no.is 1452698,apparently he was at 33 efts at Caron prior to coming to Swift Current.Any info whatsoever would be appreciated,he is buried in Swift Current veteran's cemetery.I am planning a visit to Swift Current from the U.K.this year/next!

Edward died on 24/11/43. He was aged 21 and the brother of my father, Gordon, then aged 15. You mention that Ted was your great uncle: how are we related?
Best regards
Mark

Hello Mark, After researching Ted's war record over the past few year's this has come as a bit of a shock!! As far as I can see we are related like this: Great grandad,Charles Edward. Father to, Edward,Gordon and Arnold (my grandad). Arnold was my father's dad ( Arnold,also known as Tom ) was my dad.Tom (my dad) would have been Edward and Gordon's nephew,so I am their great nephew. You would have been my dad's cousin and a 2nd. cousin to me. I hope you can make sense of this! Where abouts are you situated? You can contact me at c.sowery@talktalk.net
I've a fair bit on great uncle Ted,but by no means complete,perhaps you could add to it!
Best wishes, Chas Sowery (St.Austell,Cornwall,UK)
