Philip David Lloyd was born in Loughton, Essex and worked for Chigwell Urban District Council. He joined the RAFVR in September 1938 and did his weekend flying at 21 E&RFTS, Stapleford Tawney. Called to full-time service at the outbreak of war, Lloyd completed his training and joined 41 Squadron at Catterick in early September 1940.
Lloyd was shot down and killed in a surprise attack by Hauptmann Fozo of 4/JG51 on 15th October. His Spitfire, X4178, crashed into the Channel. His body was washed ashore near Kings Hall, Herne Bay twelve days later.
Lloyd was 23 and is buried in the Holy Innocents’ churchyard, High Beach, Essex.
