A request from Holland
published by Brian & Pam Airey on Mon, 12/06/2017 - 19:18

I have had the following email from Anton de Man in Holland.  Can anyone help please?

"On September 18th 1944 an RAF plane was shot down at Strijen-Sas in The Netherlands.  The pilot died.  His name was Flying Officer Robert Hawksley HANNEY aged 19yrs.  His grave is in the cemetery in Strijen.  His parents were Charles Percival HANNEY & Dora Grace HANNEY who lived in Weston super Mare.

We are making a digital monument with tiles and on the tiles a QR code.  Under the QR code you can add the life story of F/O Hanney, but we would like to know his story before he entered the RAF.  We would like to find relatives or family of F/O HANNEY so we can make it a true life story."

If you have any information please contact Anton at antondeman@hccnet.nl

I replied directly to Anton de Man with information concerning a possible brother of Robert HANNEY - other members might also have done the same. As no comments were added to this site it is impossible to know whether anyone else responded. 

Today I've received an email of thanks from Anton de Man because he has successfully made contact with this brother, who now aged 90, will be attending a memorial service to his brother in May this year and visiting his grave.  Thank you to any one who replied to this request.
