Sergeant Taylor was the Wireless Operator aboard Vickers Wellington Mk. XIV, HF142, of 407 Squadron. On the 15th of February the aircraft was taking off from Limavady, Northern Ireland, probably on an anti submarine patrol, when the aircraft stalled and crashed with the loss of all those on board. Harold Taylor was just 21 years old.
