After flying combat missions from early 1940, throughout the Battle of Britian and beyond, Bungay returned to Australia on 4 May 1943 for a reunion with his wife Sybil and his son Richard who he had never seen. Sybil died of a brain haemorrage and heart condition 23 days later. Leaving a suicide note desparing of who would now look after Richard a grief stricken Bungay shot his son and then himself. Luckily his son survived the head wound and in later years said "I was so proud of him. What he did was out of love, out of consideration for me..how could you not see him as a hero ?"
