| Reason for Loss | Newcastle Journal of April 15th 1942: R.A.F. Man Killed Getting a Lift. A Newcastle aircraftman’s death through a fall from a lorry chassis when he was getting a lift was described at a Darlington inquest yesterday on James Lawton Cunningham (39), of Stone Street, Newcastle. “Accidental Death” was the verdict. Septimus Martindale, retired railwayman, said he saw the lorry chassis swerve, and Cunningham was catapulted on to the roadway, his head striking the pavement. Martindale said that afterwards the driver said to him “I have been trying to avoid these men all along the road, but this one was so insistent I gave him a lift.” The Coroner, Mr. J. E. Brown-Humes, said he did not think the driver was in any way to blame. |
