Notes From Elsewhere
Captain A (Archie) G C Stainforth was my grandfather (b.1896, d.1965). He was never a pilot, but was in the Buffs in WWI where he was awarded the MC. After the Great War he worked in the colonial service, first in India, then Aden and then, for many years, in Nigeria. The famous pilot, George Stainforth - broke the world speed record in 1931 (b.1899, killed in Egypt 1942) was his younger brother. There was a third brother, Moxon, who was younger still. He spent most of his life working in the Bank of India in Bombay. Peter Stainforth, also mentioned on this thread, was Archie's only son, and my father. He died in December last year at the age of 96. [Gordon Stainforth]
