Hi Guys.

Im looking for information on a 33563 Pilot Officer Charles Trevor Davis Kiled on 26th March 1941.

Ive found some vague information that he could have fought during the Battle of Britain? can anyone confirm this?
How did he meet his untimely end at the age of just 20.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Joe

I think he 43614 is a simple mistake - It is in a bunch of Commissioning of RAF Sgts and Warrant Officers around May 1940

All the other Flight Cadets in his intake were around his '#33563 number

Unless there was another Charles Trevor DAVIS he got confused with
