Hello,

I'm looking after some information about the loss of Lancaster PB-687 of 626 Sqn lost on the 31 of December 1944/01 of January 1945. The aircraft crashed in Belgium. Database of Army Museum says "Attenhoven" (area of Saint-Trond) as crashlocation and other sources say "Liège".
Crew:

F/O Benoit F.J.
Sgt Harrison H.
F/O Warren A.L. RCAF
F/O McWilliam K.A. RCAF
Sgt Austin K.H. (KIA)
Sgt Casey T.A. RCAF (KIA)
F/O Pogson W.H. RCAF (KIA)
The 3 crewmemners who got killed are buried at Hotton war Cemetery. Information about the crew is also welcome.
Regards,

Alexander
