1940 May 22 Died at Jurby, Michael, Isle of Man He was a Sgt in the RAF. Early in the 1939-1945 War the Royal Air Force built an aerodrome at Jurby, about a mile from the church for use as a training school. The airmen who lost their lives while training there were buried in the churchyard, and a small section in the north-eastern corner was reserved for these service burials. This group of war graves is on the far side of the new extension to the old churchyard. The total number of 1939-1945 War burials is 43, and all except three are within the group.
I am unclear as to why Sgt Hartnell & Sgt Payne are in the same grave. From what I can ascertain Richard Sidney HARTNELL RAF, was killed (along with 7 others), when No.11 OTU Wellington IA N2945, crashed in the sea off Bradda Head, Isle of Man, on 24-8-1940. Whereas G L Payne died of natural causes on 22 May some 3 m,onths prior.
