HISTORIANS are searching for details of a 1940s airman buried in Birkdale Cemetery.
Curators at Surrey’s Wings Museum want to track down the relatives or next of kin of Ernest Fleetwood Street Till, who served under the name of Pilot Officer EFS Travis.
PO Travis, 34, was killed in a tragic accident in June 1944 at Surrey’s Redhill Aerodrome, after he was hit when the guns of a Spitfire were fired in error.
The museum now plans to post a memorial plaque in his honour at the site and hope to include information about his life in the museum.
PO Travis listed Formby as his home and was also married to a Formby woman named Elizabeth Everard Travis.
If you can help, leave your message below and useful information will be passed to the Wings Museum.
