My name is Mike Hume aged 72 & I am researching the RAF history of my Cousin Sgt. Gordon Herbert Surridge Mid Upper Gunner. He died on 27th April 1942 after his plane burst into flames & crashed near Kravlund, Denmark on 26th April. Although he managed to bale out he died of his injuries at Tonder hospital Denmark.
I would be very interested to hear from any relatives from the members of his crew: F/O JEM Conran, F/O AB Bateman, P/O AHH Young, Sgt RT Stephen, Sgt RR Lawson, Sgt RAJ Skinner, Sgt. DJ East.
Sgt Gordon Surridge was maried, and was buried Aabenraa Cemetery, Denmark.
I am the son of Eileen Nora Scott (nee Kennedy) who was married to Gordon Surridge before he died. Unfortunately, our mum passed away in 2006 so I am not sure if we have much to add to your research. However we (my brother and sister Finlay and Bridget) would be very interested in your progress. Also we shall look at the few keepsakes we have to find if we can shed any more light on your investigation.
