This my first post so please forgive me if I've posted in the wrong place. Genealogy is outside my normal research area so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm researching the careers of RAF aircrew involved in photographic reconnaissance. One of the individuals I'd like to find out more about is F/Lt Victor Anthony Ricketts. What I'd really like is to try and establish contact with any family members who have more details on him.
He was KIA on 12 Jul 42. The CWGC site gives this additional information - Son of William Ellacott Ricketts and Annie Ricketts; husband of Dorothy Ricketts (nee Perkins), of Streatham, London, England. I've also found out he was a Cornishman.
Prewar he was the air reporter for the Daily Express and a member of the team that established the world record flight to New Zealand in 1938. I've tried contacting the Daily Express but they haven't bothered to reply.
Any help would be most welcome.
Best Regards
