    The only close one I can find is:
    Name: R . F Williams
    Event: Death
    Death Date: 8 Oct 1945
    Ship: Utley (See info below)

    But some info is wrong it should be :
    Fleet Air Arm killed and died, other RN casualties, Sept-Dec 1945
    Monday, 8 October 1945
    FAA, 710 Sqn, Urley, air crash
    DAYES, George A, Ty/Act/Sub Lieutenant (A), RNVR, MPK
    TRAVIS, Kenneth C N, Ty/Sub Lieutenant (A), RNVR, MPK
    WILLIAMS, Robert F, Ty/Act/Petty Officer Airman, L/FX 114047, MPK

    Still not 100% sure its your man

    RCG as I said I am unsure about him, although I have to say they seem to have had quite a few killed at various times on HMS Urley due to "flying accidents", either bad luck or an unlucky ship - hms urley - Google Search
