Sgt Charles Naylor lived at 100 Danethorpe Vale,
Sherwood, Nottingham NG5, with his wife Sylvia Alice
Marguerite Naylor. His parents Mr and Mrs F Naylor also
lived in Nottingham. Sgt Naylor had joined CEGH's crew at a late stage at the Operational Training Unit at Andover as a result of the original wireless-operator/air gunner on the crew being considered unsuitable. Naylor had already gained a significant amount of operational experience and was aparently a tall man who squeezed into the Blenheim turret with difficulty! Charles Naylor is commemorated on the War Memorial in Cinderhill Christ Church, Nottingham, by a wooden plaque, a memorial book, and an altar rail. His name is also recorded on the Runnymede Memorial. THIS ALTAR RAIL WAS PLACED HERE THEIR NAMES ARE RECORDED WITH DEDICATED BY THE RT. REVD. BISHOP
