Fate 12 Squadron crew members 1944?
Dear all,
I was recently given a crew photo of a Alastair Cook and his 12 Squadron crew, taken in late 1943 or early 1944.
Alastair noted the following names on the photo: Mac, Alf, Maurice, (self), Bill, Wilf, Jack. These were: K. McDonnel, A. Baker, M.R.N. Mouchet RCAF, A.J. Cook, W. Smith, W. Edwards, and J. Ellis. This crew flew together with 12 Squadron until mid-March 1944.
F/Lt. Alastair J. Cook and his Navigator Mouchet were both killed in action during the 30-31 March 1944 Nürnberg Raid, flying with five other/new crew members.
Can anyone tell me what became of the five original members of F/Lt. Cook's crew, and what could have been the reason for this change of crew?
Cheers and thanks, Theo
