  • You flew with my Uncle on your last flight. He was Arthur Victor Cobby a Flight Sargeant who we are told possibly fell from the bomb doors just prior to the loss of the plane. We understand there may have been a fault he was trying to resolve. It is good to have some context to the stories I have been told. I thank you, my Uncle and all the other brave young men who gave their lives for our freedom.
