About Fg Off. Alan Edmund Wilkie Bradmore
Flying Officer A.E.W.Bradmore, 6 Squadron RNZAF, Lauthala Bay, Viti Levu, Fiji. Sat 5 Jun 1943, PBY-5 Catalina NZ4006 took off at 0430 on a ferry flight from Fiji to New Zealand but failed to arrive at Auckland, no communication suggesting difficulty or an emergency being received. Three days later a boat found some wreckage of NZ4006 washed up on Dravuni Island 35 miles south. However, no trace of the seven crew or eight passengers including Flying Officer Alan Bradmore (age 33) was ever found. The limited amount of wreckage recovered proved insufficient to draw conclusions as to what might have led to the Catalina’s loss. All except one civilian on board are remembered on the Bourail Memorial, Alan on Panel 4. Source: https://www.nzwargraves.org.nz/casualties/alan-edmund-wilkie-bradmore.
