Searching records of lost RAF/RAAF planes.
After liberation allied airman, that had been in German p.o.w. camps, were probably debriefed about the loss of their plane. Have these reports survived? And if so where are they now? I’m looking for those of two man from 500 squadron who were captured when their Anson crashed into the North Sea on August 9 1940.
and also
On 2/3 October 1943 a Lancaster of 467 squadron ditched in the channel. F/Sgt M.E. McGrath was the only survivor, he was found floating in a dinghy. I suppose his ordeal was put on paper as well. Where would one search for this record?
In both cases the squadron associations were not in contact with the survivors.
All help will be apriciated,
Dennis
