They shall not grow old,
as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them

J/90038 Pilot Officer William Stuart McMullen - 428 Ghost Squadron (Usque Ad Finem) Royal Canadian Air Force (Pilot) - Died 13/01/1945 Aged 29
Born: 16/09/1915
From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Husband of Thelma McMullen, of Lulu Island, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Son of James Henry and Ettie McMullen, of Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Pilot Officer William Stuart McMullen was the pilot of a Lancaster Bomber aircraft (#KB 793). The aircrew were returning from a cross-country training flight to Middleton St George Airfield when the port outer engine caught fire. The fire could not be extinguished and the propeller could not be feathered so Pilot Officer McMullen ordered his crew to bail out and he remained at the controls of the aircraft and guided it away from the town of Darlington, County Durham, England. The aircraft with Pilot Officer McMullen still at the controls, crashed just outside the town at 8.49pm
The Borough of Darlington honoured him by erecting a cairn and naming McMullen Road after him. To this day, an annual remembrance service is held at the McMullen Road War Memorial, near the location of the crash
Pilot Officer McMullen is buried in the Stonefall Cemetery, Wetherby Road, Harrogate, Yorkshire, England
