Re: 412 Sqn Pilots 1943-44

F/O. R. W. THATCHER.
Could he be Raymond William THATCHER, J/15837, POW at L3, number 5840 ?
Ref: RAF Commands data file.
F/O. J. S. HAMILTON,J/16751, may be this man, WNG/CDR. John Stewart HAMILTON, AFC.( by which time a different service number ?).

Thatcher was in Spitfire MH427 in collision with Hamilton's Spitfire MJ136 over Pas de Calais, on May 11th 1944. Hamilton was rescued . Thatcher was reported mia but became a pow.
