Hello all,


My name is Leon Hilleman, and i live in Holland.

This year i've adopted the grave of Flight Officer Frank George Rudduck, who is buried here in Holland, at the cemetery of Cadzand.

I would like to get in contact with relatives of the F/O.

I have some more information about him:

Flight Officer Rudduck died on the 6th of june 1944, when his plane (a Mosquito Mk XVI) was hit by German flak, and crashed into the NorthSea near Calis, France.

His navigator, Flight Sergenat Henry Charles Dent also died in this crash.

Flight Sergeant Dent is still misscing in action.

But there is one other thing about this: i have also adopted four other WW2 graves, one of these graves is that of an unknown RAF Flight Sergeant.

When they identified him, they found some personal things on him.

Amongst those things there was a cigarette holder, with the initials H.D. ....

It could be possible that this is the Flight Sergeant ....

So i am looking for relatives of Flight Officer Rudduck, and if possible also relatives of Flight Sergeant Dent.


If anyone here things that he or she knows something about these relatives (or maybe you are a relative of these RAF men) then please let me know.

For any questions, don't hesitate, and send me a message.


Thank you all for reading, and for the help.


With best regards,

Leon Hilleman

Middelburg, Holland.

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
