SIR - I was pleased to read John Allison’s tribute to Bradford’s Sub Lieutenant Geoffrey Bulmer, who served with the Fleet Air Arm and was shot down and killed just 10 days into the Battle of Britain.

I wish him well with his search for more information about his early life. The Battle of Britain Memorial Trust publishes the ‘Bible’ for researchers, Men of the Battle of Britain, but even the most recent edition has no more detail on Bulmer’s life before he enlisted. I nonetheless commend the publication to any of your readers interested in the fewer-than 3,000 aircrew who took part in this historic battle.

If I may be allowed to correct one aspect of Mr Allison’s piece, Bulmer is not only commemorated at the Battle of Britain Monument in London, the Fleet Air Arm Memorial and Bradford’s Cenotaph. His name also features on the Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall at the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-le-Ferne, just outside Folkestone in Kent.

The Memorial also benefits from a modern visitor centre, opened by Her Majesty The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in 2015, which features a unique ‘Scramble Experience’ telling how Bulmer and his fellow aircrew saved this country from invasion in the summer and early autumn of 1940.

Two bits of information that might interest Mr Allison is that Bulmer was flying Hurricane N2670 when he was shot down by Oberleutnant Priller. There is more information about the Battle at battleofbritainmemorial.org
