Marriage:
Hubert Dearnley married Thomasina Louvain Wilson, daughter of William Wilson and Marion Lawson, about August 1936 at Fylde, Lancashire, England,
 .
Death:
Hubert Dearnley died on 25 July 1941 at Plymouth, Devon, England, at age 27 years and 1 day
On 24th/25th July 1941 Scott, Lockyer, Perkin and Courtnall were flying Wellington "LQ-L" on Ops to Brest to attack the Gneisenua, they were attacked by a "He113" over Brest though the aircraft broke away from the attack without scoring any hits on the Wellington, the Wellington was then attacked by an Me109 and its cannon and machine gun fire damaged the fuselage and seriously injured their then rear gunner Sgt Hubert Dearnley. The Wellington was severely damaged, on crossing the English coast Sgt Scott force landed the Wellington at Roborough in Devon probably so the rear gunner could get medical attention, Sgt Dearnley was trapped inside the aircraft so the fuselage was further damaged to extract him. Sadly their efforts were in vein as Sgt Dearnley died later in hospital from his injuries. Their attacker the Heinkel He113 never actually existed as a type of aircraft and was a mythical aircraft so must have been another smaller Luftwaffe fighter aircraft.
The rest of the crew returned to Pocklington and 405 Squadron the following day in an aircraft that was flown down to Plymouth to collect them. Sgt Courtnall and F/Sgt Perkin were on board Wellington W5521 on 7th/8th September 1941 when they failed to return and spent the rest of the War as PoW's. Sgt Courtnall's full identity was probably Joseph Stanley Courtnall who died in Chesterfield in 2003, someone with the same name (possibly his father) served in the RAF in WW1.
