Tribute page: WW2 SAAF pilot Noel Sandilands
Hi and welcome to this site!
Thanks to Brett Hendey who made contact with me via the internet and sent me all the information of Lt. Sandilands. He was working on the biography of Lt. Sandilands from the memorabilia collection of Ulrich Duebi from Durban. Thanks to Ulrich for his permission to publish this material.
This again the sad story of a young and forgotten fighter pilot being killed in the vast desert of North Africa, his body never found for a proper burial.
This is a living web site. Any input and/or participation will be much appreciated regarding additional information, correctness, information from relatives of members who served with Noel, photographs, stories etc. Please e-mail me.
If you perhaps have a family member who served as a SAAF fighter pilot during WW2 and you would want to find out more about his war service please contact me, hopefully I can be of some help.
