Anecdotes
Bill Clearihue (Email to Nauticapedia 23/11/2023) stated "Very poignantly, his older brother, John Dane Curzon, F/O RCAF, was killed in a Lancaster crash in 1953; he was the NavO as they approached GREENWOOD in bad weather after a lengthy SAR flight. This happened just before the start of Peter's 2nd UNTD summer."
