Re: Which stories behind these photos?
Concerning BB236, four of the crew were killed: Sgt EH Tytherleigh, F/O JH Carrick RCAF, F/O GM Gillies RCAF, and Sgt NR Jones RAAF.
Sgt EW Parr (pilot), Sgt GE Swift and Sgt J Cunningham were taken POW and from the photos it seems the pilot had a lucky escape as those other poor men shown in the wreckage were probably those grouped in the forward fuselage - ie Flight Engineer, Observer, Bomber Aimer, Wireless Op.
