According to Russell's nephew Don Chochrane, there is nothing heroic about Russell's death.
Russell was trained as a bomb aimer and so he would have been at the bottom of the plane when
the plane overshot the runway and landed hard. Russell suffered massive injuries to his head
and his chest and died a few hours later in a hospital. His death forever changed the lives of
his mother, father and his younger sister Catherine.
