Death of Dennis Oswald Moss:
Your Help Needed Please

Christopher and Denise Moss
November 2017

We have been contacted by Christopher, the son of Dennis Oswald Moss, requesting information about Denis' death in an air crash at Hazelbury House Farm on 27 February 1943. The Wellington bomber he was flying in, lost control and crashed, killing everyone on board. Christopher and Denise hope to visit the area to pay their respects to Dennis some time next year, the 75th anniversary of his loss.
