Fight the good fight.

Sgt. Hall was serving with 14 OTU. He was a crew member of Wellington IC DV435 which took off from Market Harborough with two other aircraft to carry out a Bullseye exercise. This was abandoned after becoming so iced up that the controls were ineffective. It is thought that the aircraft came down in Derbyshire.
