Macqueen was killed in action on 4th May 1942 when his Spitfire nosedived, an account in the Malta War Diary records `RAF fighter pilots at Ta Qali had to watch helplessly as one of their comrades was jumped by a German fighter this afternoon. Flight Lieutenant Norman Macqueen was one of eight Spitfire pilots scrambled to intercept a heavily protected formation of Italian bombers attacking Grand Harbour. He was heading back towards Ta Qali from where his comrades watched as he was jumped by a Messerschmitt fighter `Norman was flying with another Spitfire and about to attack some 109s, when we saw a 109 sweep across the sky behind him. Vainly we shouted, `Turn! Spit!` as if there was some hope that he might hear us. But evidently neither of them saw the 109 and just kept straight on. We saw the 109`s tracer going right into Norman`s machine. His spitfire lurched and gave up a thin smoke trail. For some time it seemed to be under control and circled downwards as if he hoped to land. Then suddenly the nose went forward, and the machine dived like a stone into the ground, bursting into flames as it hit`, Macqueen is buried in Kalkara Cemetery, Malta. Provenance: Sold on behalf of the family. (-)
