Gerald Seeley

Gerald Henry Seeley (9 May 1903 – 23 July 1941) was an English cricketer who played a single first-class game, for Worcestershire against Nottinghamshire at Worcester in 1921.

Batting at number seven in his only innings, he scored 7 before falling lbw to John Gunn.

On 23 July 1941, Seeley took off from RAF Manston as the rear air gunner of a Bristol Blenheim bomber.

Whilst conducting anti-shipping operations over the English Channel, the Blenheim was shot down off Ostend by a Kriegsmarine flak ship, killing 2 of the 3 on board, Seeley and pilot Phillip Bernard Ashby.

Pilot Officer Martin Lowes became a prisoner of war.
