Re: PRU Mosquito lost on 30/03/1945

Hi Adriano,

I don't know how much help this is but one other 544 Sq member died on the 30th, F/Lt Donald South (navigator):

and both Hays & South are buried in Oxford.

And
MM386 is reported in an accident whilst being flown by Robert G Grimes KCRL (killed in crash landing) of 653rd BS, 25 BG (R). (6th Nov 1944)

However, the American Battle Monuments Commission doesn't have any details of Grimes but there is another entry for 653rd BS:

Clarence W. Jodar
First Lieutenant, U.S. Army Air Forces

653rd Bomber Squadron, 25th Bomber Group, Heavy
Entered the Service from: Wisconsin
Died: 6-Nov-44
