Can anyone help with any details of a Spitfire that crashed near Holmside Hall, Craghead, on 3rd September 1948. The pilot was Squadron Leader John Child who was the commanding officer of 612 Squadron from RAF Dyce (now Aberdeen Airport). He was 30 years old and is buried in Edinburgh. He had served throughout the war but the only details I can find are his promotion date (just before his 26th birthday) and the date and place of his death.
