This is the report on the accident that killed six young men 18 Aug 42 (day before the Dieppe raid). Reading this report will not give you the sense of despair that the families must have felt on hearing of their loved ones deaths. AC Gordon Burke's parents lived on long after the war and never forgot their son's death. Visit Burke's file on the CVWM and see the inscription on their headstone. They are all together in death.
F/O Poole was the pilot of Anson involved in this crash.<P>
