A son of a railway worker, he enlisted in the RNAS as an Aircraftman 2 in mid-September 1916. He was promoted to Aircraftman 1 on 3 August 1917 and become Private 1 on the formation of the RAF on 1 April 1918.

NS11 – As Bright As Day is very much a work in progress and has been made possible by the generous and enthusiastic support of many individuals and organisations. If you have any information, records or material relating to British NS Class airships we would be very interested to hear from you – especially anyone related to members of the crew of NS11 or any airship of the class during their service with the RNAS or RAF during and beyond WWI.
