| 説明 | Sent August 22 1935. One of the cards which started off my interest in Bata and Zlin. The writer of the card is writing to his children from a visit to Zlin, where he writes on the card of an appointment with Jan Bata himself. The message, sent to children of the Bata employee in Stockwell, in 1935, goes .....A PC of the plane in which Mr Bata crashed . This has been reassembled and is in the Memorial Hall Entrance. Should have left for Vienna at 7 this morning but have a appointment with Mr Bata so will go by the 4.09 train from here arriving Vienna 8.30. Time at Victoria 4.27 Sunday still the same. Listened to BBC broadcast last night and heard you were having very hot weather.

He may have survived the crash. If there is one, could someone provide a place of death registration for him.9th April 2009,Mr Coatman was killed also. His grave is in Hawarden Cemetery just down the road from here and he is recorded in the CWGC Register for Flintshire etc. He was an Air Ministry Lands Officer, presumably something to do with acquiring land for airfield building? As I recall, a wing came off this aircraft while it was en route to (or from?) N Ireland and it crashed near Denbigh.http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/showthread.php?4843-Hudson-N7253-24-Sqdn-17-7-42Here's the alleged site, in Grid SJ1556www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/Sj1556adjacent to Bryn Isaf Farmwww.rafcommands.com/forum/showthread.php?6578-Brian-Banni...Coatman's detailswww.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/75452937/coatman,-cha...Charles Arthur Denaby Coatman of 120 Marsden Road, Brooklands, Sale, Cheshire died in a field at Tyn-y-Bryn Farm, Llanfair Dyffrin Clwyd, Ruthin.
