Jack Knox: 80 years later, Oak Bay woman learns her father died saving children

All Underhill knew growing up what that her father, Flight Lieutenant Robert Coventry, 27, was piloting a Bristol Blenheim bomber when it lost power and crashed near Gloucester, England in September 1940. What she just discovered recently is that he stayed at the controls to prevent the aircraft from plowing into a school in the tiny hamlet of Quedgeley. And now that community plans to honour his memory. Coventry was the grandson of the 9thEarl of Coventry and the son of the Hon. Thomas George Coventry, a charming, adventurous, Eton-educated Englishman who served as Conservative MLA for Saanich in the 1920s but whose love of gambling on horses caused grief.
