Looking for intel on a Robert K Agnew of the RAF

Fri Jul 31, 2015 7:37 pm

I have been searching for a pilot who was related to a friend of mine who served in the 101st AB in WWII.

Jack Agnew of the Filthy 13 better known as regimental demolitions Platoon was related to an RAF Pilot by the name of Robert Keith Agnew. I have found RKA's date of death , but I am heaving trouble finding much else out. Can anyone suggest some RAF sites or other sites where I can find material on him for the family?

Thank you very much

Tony C

In case it's of use, Agnew was killed (9th December 1941) aboard Airspeed Oxford II s/n AP467 of 12 FTS, which dived into the ground at Harlaxton on a solo mission.
