Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    He was the pilot of the Wellington Bomber that crashed while on a training flight in the Cairngorms in Scotland on 9th August 1942. My Uncle, Joe Weatherson was a fellow crew member in that plane. I and a cousin visited the crash site in October last year (2013) to place a slate memorial to Joe. We re-visited the site this July and then went to A G W Keene's grave and took photographs. We would be happy to share those photos with his family. We are trying to build a picture of the crew to put on a storyboard at Montrose Air Station. They have used the propeller from the plane as part of their War Memorial up until last year and now want to incorporate as part a personal memorial to the crew of that plane. Only the rear gunner survived (died aged 93 in 2012.
