  • Flight Lieutenant Godfrey Brembridge AFC (1 March 1895–12 September 1941) was a World War I flying ace who was credited with five victories . He joined the Royal Flying Corps in July 1917. He flew a Sopwith Camel for 65 Squadron, driving down three enemy airplanes between 18 December 1917 and 9 March 1918, and destroying two others. After the war he emigrated to the Transvaal in South Africa where he started an orange farm, became father to 2 daughters and a son, John Henry. In the thirties, the family returned to England while the children went through school but with onset of the second world war in 1939, he re-joined the RAF, this time as a Pilot Instructor of vast experience and was a great asset to the Air Force who were in great need of additional pilots. Ironically, Godfrey Bremridge was killed doing what he loved best, in a flying accident[citation needed] on 12 September 1941. He was buried at the churchyard of St Peter & St Paul at Sywell, Northamptonshire.
