Jack Blaylock joined the RNZAF and trained in Canada as a radio operator, bombardier and air gunner.  He joined RAF 269 Squadron, operating Lockheed Hudsons from Iceland, against German submarines.  He had completed five operational missions when, on a training mission firing underwing rockets, his plane failed to pull out of a shallow dive and hit the sea.  Two bodies were recovered but Jack was missing.  His remains were not found.
