| 3. | David Arnold Ray (1.Katie1) was born on 7 Apr 1916 in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia; died on 24 Feb 1942 in North Sea; was buried in Runnymede Memorial, Englefield Green, Runnymede Borough, Surrey, England, United Kingdom. Notes:
On 24 February 1942 Hudson AM563 took off from North Coates on an anti-shipping patrol. Nothing further was heard from the aircraft after take-off and it did not return to base. The aircraft was lost and one crew member became a Prisoner of War. In 1948, Pilot Officer Knight, the only survivor, recorded that the three missing crew members had lost their lives at sea.
Pilot Officer Knight reported that ?the aircraft hit the mast of a ship and burst into flames after crashing on an ice floe. A portion of the aircraft in which Knight was sitting broke away from the burning portion and he managed to make his escape on to the ice, from which he was rescued. The burning portion of the aircraft broke through the ice and sank quickly. Pilot Officer Knight stated that he heard nothing from the other crew after hitting the mast and although the boat that rescued him made a search for other survivors their efforts were unsuccessful. Later the crew of the ship stated that they only saw one figure on the ice floe before the aircraft sank, and coupled with the fact that the weather was bitterly cold, any person thrown out beyond the limit of the search would not have survived. Pilot Officer Knight is certain that he was the only survivor.?
