Re: An Impossible Task?
Hi
His uniform seems to be RAF and there are no VR insignia on his collar which might suggest someone who was already in the RAF before WW2 started and who might be somewhat older than the average for Aircrew at the time the picture was taken(hence the W/O rank).This may alter your time frame a little and make his demise earlier in the war than you think and may even make him non-operational
With reference to the lack of VR badges I must confess I don't know how close the RAF and RCAF uniforms and Rank insignia were to each other so there may be a clue in the style of the W/O rank badge particularly the crown surmounting it if you can find a more detailed view
Hope this helps
Regards
Dick
