Pilot Officer Granger was flying over Mt Molloy in November 1944 in his Royal Australian Air Force, Boomerang Serial A46-192 when it crash-landed and burned, taking the 23-year-old’s life.
The service, organised by Mareeba history enthusiast Michael Musumeci, will be conducted at the Mount Molloy Cenotaph Memorial on 5 November at 2pm and will include the unveiling of a dedicated bronzed plaque to honour the late pilot.
