You really need to get Peter Cornwell's book! Jones was in P1672 which was destroyed when unreleased bombs detached at Bekesbourne. He was killed, Plt Off G Grant-Govan uninjured. Henderson was in L6849 shot down at Pihen

I know Chris, I know.

Do you happen to know via Peters book what happened with the air gunner of P/O Henderson?
