The Airmen's Stories - P/O B DAVEY

Brian Davey joined the RAFVR in February 1939 as an Airman u/t Pilot. He was called up on September 1st, completed his training and was commissioned in May 1940. It is very likely that he was posted to 150 Squadron after its withdrawal trom France, where it flew Battles with the AASF. It is also likely that Davey volunteered for Fighter Command and was posted from 150 to 504 Squadron on September 9th 1940 and moved to 30 Squadron a week later.

On the 28th Davey went to 257 Squadron at Martlesham Heath. He shared in the destruction of an Italian Fiat BR20 on November 11th 1940.

Davey was killed on June 12th 1941, as a Flying Officer with 52 OTU.

He was 22 and is buried in St Andrew's churchyard, Rochford, Essex.
