Flt Sgt Young's crash, 13 November 1942. During low level flying practice in Hurricane BN702 he crashed badly. Despite his severe injuries he actually got out of the wreckage and managed to inject himself with morphine from the First Aid Kit, a task a doctor later said was impossible with his injuries! Taken to hospital in Calcutta, he unfortunately succumbed to the injuries two days later.
