In the early hours of the morning of 27th April 1944 he was flying an Oxford Airspeed when he was attacked by a Me 410, flown by Leutnant Wolfgang Wenning.
The cannon and machine gun fire ripped through the wooden aircraft which broke up in mid air.
The Me 410 collided with the wreckage of the Oxford and both aircraft crashed to the ground close to the village of Frankton. All occupants onboard were killed.

He is buried in Dartford Cemetery, Sec. A. Grave 1766.
