Next of kin: C.R. Mucadum, 50 Wodehouse Rd, Colaba, Bombay, India Ed. Technical High School, Bombay m. Dec 1939 Mary Ann [Johnstone, d. 1966] 1 son b. 1949 prev. a Viewer (Engineering) for J. Stone & Co, Arklow Rd, Deptford, London Address in 1941: 15 Avon Rd, Brockley, London SE4 Postings: 6FPP Initially considered a "keen and willing pilot who is doing well", he was held responsible for an accident in a Wellington in November 1942 when he failed to check the take-off swing and the port undercrriage leg struck an obstacle. After making an immediate landing, the leg collapsed. He was immediately sent on a refresher course: "This pilot was in need of a check as his flying was most erratic. He is a very slow thinker and inclined to imagine that anything will do." However, "he completed by showing marked improvement and it is thought that he now realises the importance of detail and thinking for himself." d. Nov 1998 - Richmond Upon Thames
