I am the nephew of Sgt/Observer 'Bill' Wilson RAF - killed along with Ronald (no relation) and the pilot Stanley Ashton - flying out of RAF Eastchurch on 4th June 1940. I wish to make contact with relatives with a view to setting up a memorial to these men at the Eastchurch site. Any information, help or advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks. I am in touch with a relative of Stanley Ashton but no joy yet with Ronald. I have 'trawled' the Ronald Wilsons on this site but with no success so far. RAFA have not been able to help either yet.

Sorry, Linda, maybe I should have said I have the information you have kindly given me. It is the relatives I wish to contact now. I have also been in touch with the Blenheim Association so I know details of how they were killed although am researching this in more detail.
