Hi,
I am new to RootsChat and read some older posts re Owen Ernest Dudley Louden who was tragically killed when his aircraft came down next to our Cottage after a collision with another aircraft flown by a young Canadian pilot, Stanley Franklin Cleeworth. I further sent a part copy of an article I wrote for a local Parish magazine re the tragic day to The New Zealand War Graves Project. However as yet details have not appeared on Owen's page. If any relative would like to contact me for any unpublished details I have, I would be only too willing to help. Thank you.
Regular visits are made to the two graves when I say a small prayer to the two young Pilots who lay next to each other.

Hello :D Welcome to Rootschat. I have asked a Moderator to move this to the main board where it will be seen, as you have posted on the completed requests board (very easy to do when you are new).
Cheers

Many thanks for your help Minniehaha. I was 6 months of age when this tragic occurance happened and it was talked over in our household many, many times, hence my interest in later life. There have been some important points missing from future researches.

Thanks for placing the link Minniehaha. Thought I recognised the surname. I was privilaged to have been part of that search, and saw copies of the lovely photos returned to family here in NZ, after so many years of being lovingly cared for in the UK.
