Re: Havoc AW398

The following website http://www.thejwarrens.pwp.blueyonde.../events06a.htm
States in part
Once again eight Havocs and Bostons from 23 and 418 Squadrons, as well as six Hurricanes from 1 Squadron, had been sent to intrude over Luftwaffe bases in France, but this only resulted in the loss Havoc AW398, a heavy price to pay for the minor disruption to flying caused at a couple of enemy airfields. Of the three man crew from 23 Squadron only Sergeant Millard survived to be take prisoner, and while Sergeant Robert Moore, the wireless operator, was subsequently buried in Bayeaux War Cemetery, Flight Sergeant Vivian Willetts, the pilot, has no known grave and so
is commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial.

You will note that this site lists MILLARD as surviving and MOORE and WILLET’S as killed

www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=2328333 “Robert Paxton MOORE”
www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=1531613 “Vivian Alquin Willetts”

Hope the above may be of help/interest

Kind regards
Ross
