It is with great sadness that the Association has been informed of the death, suddenly, of David Francis. David was son of Ray Francis DFC (57 Squadron), one of the Association’s founding fathers. David and his family were stalwart supporters of the Association and regular attendees at our annual Reunion. Our thoughts are with Helen and family at this time.
Details of funeral arrangements will be posted when they become available.

Our Sincerest condolences to Helen and Family. We met David at the 2002 Reunion. He was there as were his Mom & Dad, Ray & Barbara. Cheryl and I first met Ray and Barbara at the 2000 Reunion, our first of many. We found out that Ray was a F/E on my Dad’s Crew. My Dad, Arnold McTrowe was the Mid/Upper Gunner. Phil Ainley was the Pilot. Les Bradbeer(NAV) and my Dad , Were the only 2 Canadians on the Crew.
