Chances of tying it down to crews is hard unless the War Diary or logbooks exist. I can find no mention of 18 Aug 40 (a very busy day-not mentioned in Alfred Price's book), 25 Oct 40 is a good assumption as to the unit, 26 Mar 41 saw attacks on Overton, Totton, airfields (II./KG 76 getting Andover) and railways.
The 25 Oct 40 attack occurred at 1825 hrs and saw the deaths of Cpl J L Greenslade, Flt Sgt R D Griffin, LAC J A Rae, LAC H D Sandford, LAC J H Watson all from 8 SFTS. Cas Cards have no mention of the wounded?
