Re: Unknown RCAF airman, 429 Sqdn, 22/06/1943, NL

Well, if you take this plane from 61 Squadron:

Type: HP52 Hampden Mk.B.1
Serial number: P4341, QR-?
Operation: Geestacht
Lost: 30/06/1940
Pilot Officer Alfred G. Pascoe, RAF 40746 (Australia), 61 Sqdn., age 23, 30/06/1940, missing
Pilot Officer Alexander C. Ennis, RAF 70896, 61 Sqdn., age 25, 30/06/1940, missing
Sergeant James W. Greig, RAF 548517, 61 Sqdn., age 21, 30/06/1940, missing
Sergeant Fred Pursglove, RAF 516705, 61 Sqdn., age 26, 30/06/1940, missing
Airborne from Hemswell. Shot down by Flak and crashed into the sea off Holland. The remains of a Pilot Officer of Hampden P4341 are buried in Schipluiden General Cemetery, Netherlands. The casualty is known to be either Pilot Officer A G Pascoe or Pilot Officer A C Ennis.
Three bodies were not recovered. All are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial.

You can notice that on the CWGC database pages of Pascoe and Ennis the likelyhood that one of the two is buried in Schipluiden is mentioned.

Regards,

Bart
