Photo of Harold Wootten
Photo of my fathers first cousin, Harold Wootten, at Malta. He is shown sitting on the Spitfire he flew from the island and went missing, presumed dead, during WW2. Story has it that he took off on a routine, solo patrol, and just never returned to base. My Dad recalls hearing of his cousins demise while himself serving in Bomber Command as a navigator on a Halifax. He used to speculate that his cousin either got jumped by the Jerries or had a mechanical failure and went into the drink. Whatever happend... he was sorely missed by his family and friends in and around Cookshire, Quebec. My dad annotated this photo on his "Commodore 64" some years ago, but there seems to be some mistake on the actual date... of course, he was in his 80's and perhaps his memory just wasn't that sharp. -
