Page 5 - Frank Wilson

Frank Wilson had flown 16 successful missions with Pilot Officer Benson and
was undoubtedly affected by the sad loss of the colleagues and friends that
he had been through so much with.

While receiving treatment at RAF Ely Frank Wilson met his future wife, a RAF
nurse, Jean Ellis. He never returned to flying operations and spent the rest of
his RAF service in a number of ground based, administrative roles before
leaving the service in June 1948.

In civilian life he became a Customs and Excise officer initially at Manchester
Airport and then at the port of Goole in East Yorkshire. He died in February
1988 and is survived by four sons, one of whom also served in the RAF and
two daughters.
