Re: Flight Engineer 433 Squadron: James C. Campbell (Can/R.200640)

Hello Bill and Kaczmarek,

Bill > Thank you for the link, which I already passed to my friend. We will try to find him.

Kaczmarek > My friend do have an original Flight Engineers Lancaster Notes, which came signed with the name of James C Campbell R200640, RCAF. There is the name of Skipton-on-Swale, the date 19 February 1945 and a serial number 5861 or 5061 (had to check with him). We initially believed that that particular airman DID NOT flew on operations...but since the date was 19 February 1945...maybe there is a chance he undertook training flights with 433 Squadron....I have seen the original F/E Lancaster Manual and the name on the cover is really that of a James C. Campbell. We tried to find on RCAF roll of combat crews...but got no joy either...that particular Canadian Service Number seems to NOT EXIST....I will try to add a Picture here....But thanks a lot for your most valuable help and kind attention...
Adriano
