| Radlein Obituary | November 23 1941. On 3rd Oct., 1941, on active service, Keith Howard Naughton-Rumbo, Pilot Officer, R.A.F.V.R. (Smale's, H, 1931-34). He was rather young when he left, but even so he had shown promise of becoming a good cricketer. He was a pleasant and vigorous boy and during his short time at Radley he made many friends. He joined the Royal Mail Line in London and then in 1936 returned to that company's office in Pernambuco, where his home was. He sailed for England again in August 1940 and joined the R.A.F.V.R., being commissioned in May, 1941. |
