Here are possible IDs of some the above named pilots. I hope someone can either confirm or refute them.
Ralph Harold Anders (RAF 655494/176552) may be the same individual who served as a Tempest pilot in 80 Sqn. during 1945.
Gilbert Francis (RAF 1317792/187436)
Donald Richard Higgin (RAF 939196/128368) may have been a Sgt. Pilot in 222 Sqn. in May 1941.
John McLeod Hogg (RCAF J.10992). Died 12 Apr 43 with 32 Sqn.:

H. H. Miller. The London Gazette lists a W/O H. H. Miller (511176) as being "mentioned in dispaches." Perhaps the same guy.
Ian Matthew Rankin (RAF 1179560/119258). Found in CWGC DoD 22 Jul 44 as a F/L. Buried in the Fayid War Cemetery in Egypt but no unit listed. His age is given as 22 and his parents address in Leistershire:
http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/ca...0IAN%20MATTHEW. The Free BDM website shows an Ian M. Rankin born in 1922 in the same county, which fits nicely. However the London Gazette gives his name as
Jan Matthew Rankin. Likewise the Air Force Lists show him as
J. Matthew Rankin.
