Hello,
This is what I found.
37 Sqdn - LN641 - "H".
70 Sqdn - LN918 - "D".
104 Sqdn - ME876 - "K".
142 Sqdn - HF537 -"R".
142 Sqdn - HE584 - "U".
142 Sqdn - HE815 - "Z".

Reason I had them "penciled in".
One of the crew of the 142 Squadron a/c HF537 -"R" was a local man who's relatives still live in the area.While Flt/Sgt Everett's people were from Bodmin , Cornwall.

Of the 142 Sqdn a/c -
HF537 "R"
Flg/Off. Norman Henry KOETSVELD,RAAF died of wounds on the 4th March 44.
Flg/Off. Vernon Temple RUTTER, RAAF death date 25/02/1944.
Flt/Sgt. Godfrey Denzil Vaughan HOWARD, RAAF death date 25/02/1944.
Sgt. Frederick Charles CHURCHER, RAFVR death date 25/02/1944.
Who was the other crewman ? He was Sgt R. F. Foster RAF/RAFVR(?) who was also seriouly injured. He is not in the CWGC lists so must have survived WW2.

HE815 "Z"
Flt/Sgt. Percival Valentine BASHFORD, RAAF death date 24/02/1944.
Flt/Sgt. Francis John EVERETT, RAFVR, death date 24/02/1944.
Flt/Sgt. Peter KENNEDY, RAAF death date 24/02/1944.
Who were the other two crewmen ? They were, Flt/Sgt. G. A. C. COLDRIDGE and Sgt. W. J. BORTON both RAF were injured.

Many thanks
Alex
