Beaufighter NE635/R: Took off at 09:38 hrs for a Offensive sortie patrol south of Thayetmyo to Henzada. 05/03/1945
Did not return from Offensive patrol.
Crew:
S/ Ldr (129.511) Desmond Hugh FENTON (Pilot) RAFVR - Ok /POW /killed 28/04/1945
F Sgt (1399864) KANE (nav.) RAFVR - Ok /POW
Off we went again on the evening of 28th April, but fatigue was telling and the guards were shouting, "Speedo! Speedo!" Again there were air raid alarms, and after one such S/Ldr. Fenton was slow to rise to his feet; for failing to rise to his feet quickly enough after a rest period, possibly he didn’t understand the command in Japanese. In a trice a screaming guard bayoneted him in the stomach, and threatened us with the weapon; he looked beserk. 28/04/1945
