Stirling N.6017 from 7 Sqn
 
Hi,

during Circus 42 operation on 10 July 1941 AA shot down Stirling N.6017 from 7 Sqn. I'm looking for information about the crew:
P/O C.V. Fraser, P/O L. O’Reilly, Sgt Rogers, Sgt Bridges, Sgt Willcox, Sgt Wood, Sgt Clifton
Some pilots from the ecsort cover saw three of the crew bale out.

Thanx in advance

The body of F/O FRASER was found washed ashore 11-8-1941 in an area named "Schelphoek" on the peninsula Schouwen-Duiveland and initially buried at Burgh-Haamstede, province Zeeland, The Netherlands.
Regards,
Henk.
