Alistair Whitelaw Sinclair 617 Squadron RAF

My daughter works in a retro clothes store has been asked about a dinner jacket with a 617 Squadron badge on it. The owner was as shown above. He claimed to have flown on the 1943 Dambuster raid but this seems unlikely given that all the aircrew are listed in numerous websites and he is not with them. Does anyone know more about this individual? I have tried to defuse obvious answers by suggesting he was ground crew, served post-war etc. but it seems the owner is looking to sell the jacket as belonging to a genuine "Dambuster".
