Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
can anyone provide details about the loss of Vickers Armstrong Wellington B Mk. X LN808 B flown by the crew of Pilot F/O Edward Hawkes Hepburn GALLOWAY, RAFVR 159395 during night operations against Fanto Oil Refinery during the night of July 21./22., 1944?
Although this aircraft crashed almost certainly over Austrian territory, none of the perished crew (5) is buried at the british war cemetery in Klagenfurt, Austria.
I am sure that these airman are accounted for but somehow they went missing afterwards. Does anyone know which unit carried out exhumations in Austria after the war and where records and documents about their activities would be stored today?
Here are some older requests about the raid of July 21./22., 1944 and the loss of LN808:
