Re: F/O Howard Hugh Asher Jr KIA december 31 1944 near Ostend Belgium
Interestingly ASR No. 277 Squadron (Walrus, RAF) was sent out in search of a missing a/c in the morning of 31 Dec 1944, although further in the Channel.
Position Ostend was 'last seen position'.
ASR No. 276 Squadron (Walrus/Spitfire, at Knokke-Zoute) saw a raft and long range tanks 'off Ostend' on 1 Jan 1945, but 'nothing else to report'.
Groet,
Leendert
