Hi Fred, great to find your page about my relative, F/O Malcolm Ravenhill. A local museum (The Shoreham Aircraft Museum) are working hard to raise funds and erect a memorial in the village of Ightham where Malcolm's Hurricane (P2815) crashed and he died.

I have my own website dedicated to him: https://malcolmravenhill.co.uk. Please visit and feel free to use any images or information that may add value to your own website. I will add a link to this page on my website.

Keep up the great work.

Kind Regards,
Justin Ravenhill
