Hart Robert Arthur

Born 31 January 1923 Scottsdale Tasmania to Arthur Lewis and Mabel Elizabeth Hart W/O Hart was living in Launceston and working as a salesman when he enlisted in the RAAF.

He was attached to RAF 616 squadron (South Yorkshire) flying Spitfire MD 133 on an operational shipping recce and was returning home after an uneventful flight when W/O Hart called to say his engine was cutting out.

He was told to climb and bale out but was seen to climb slightly and then go into a steep glide finally entering the sea almost vertically. No trace of the missing aircraft or pilot was found.

Nonetheless, we do want to be certain that nothing gets lost due to web site disappearance and the like, so it appears duplicated here.
