It is with great sadness that the Association has learned of the passing of Alex Fraser.  Alex flew 36 ops as a flight engineer with 630 Squadron.  His first mission was to Konigsberg on 29 August 1944.  His aircraft was badly shot up losing all communication systems, part of the tail and leaking fuel. He and his crew managed to fly home on just two of the four engines with no major injuries.  Alex remained in the RAF post-War and enjoyed a career which spanned 42 years and concluded with a period on VC10s where he held an ‘A’ and VIP operating Category.

As reported on page 3 of the Association’s latest Newsletter, Alex celebrated his 100th birthday during the Summer.

A funeral service for Alex will be held at 11:00 on Friday 10 January 2025 at St Francis of Assisi Church, Bennetts Hill, Woolbrook, Sidmouth, EX10 9XH and will be followed by a wake at a location yet to be confirmed.

Any further information will be posted here.   RIP Alex – fly safe.
