In Brown's flight was a new and inexperience fellow Canadian, W. R. May from Edmonton, who attended the same school as Brown. Following infantry service, Wilfrid 'Wop' May became a pilot and was posted to 209 in April 1918.

Surviving this day he went on to be awarded the DFC, was credited with thirteen victories and survived the war. He died in June 1952,
