Tales Behind the Headstones - A B Mobley
| Posted at 04:21 PM on February 07, 2010 |
Behind many of the headstones and graves in the graveyard at St Mary & St Margarets Graveyard in Castle Bromwich lies a tragic story. The grave of Wing Commander A B Mobley is just one example.
Born on 17th August 1913 in Castle Bromwich, Wing Commander Arthur Benjamin Mobley made his first and last flight from Castle Bromwich air field. His tragic death on 29th July 1950 whilst flying in an air show at Castle Vale was witnessed by his young son who saw his plane plummet to the ground in a field adjoining Caste Bromwich Aerodrome. Wing Commander Mobley died from shock due to multiple injuries.
Further research is being carried out on the history of the people buried in the graveyard and it is intended to publish the details of the research on this site over the coming months.
