Boy's Tribute To

Dead Airman

A tribute to the sergeant whose bravery helped save his life after on accident to the bomber in which they were dying over Northamptonshire was paid by un Oundle schoolboy, Dennis Ephraim Nahun, recently.

The fall of the bomber was slashed tom by the propeller of another machine, and the sergeant, Jack Arnold Bullard, 25, of Wittering B.A.D. station, lost his life. The machines crushed after he had helped Nabun from the bomber, the boy landing by means of a parachute,

Nahin said that he realised that the machine was crashing, "I im- mediately fastened on my parachute, but in the hurry I only got one look attached. As a consequence I came down on one-side. There is no doubt Sergt. Bullard pushed me out of the machine."

The inquest was held at Wittering acrodome, near Stanford.

OFFICERS' PRAISE FOR BOY Officers of the aerodrome spoke highly of the bravery of the boy, who, it was stated, although lying on the ground injured, struggled to his feet and alood to attention. He then! became unconscious.

was travelling at about 220 mp.h. and Bullard 240,

Williams went into a dive to avoid Bullard's machine, but his propeller came into contact with the fuselage of Bullard's machine and knocked off about six feel of the tail. He ordered Bullard to land immediately, and thought he had done so. He himself returned to the aerodrome.

A verdict of accidental death was returned, the Coroner stating that Sergt. Bullard had neted in accord- ance with the high traditions of the Service, The Coroner also paid tri- bute to the gallantry of the boy, who, he said, remained calm in such dis- tressing clrcumstances.
