Re: RAF losses 5./6. March 1945

Ross, some of the information you have is incorrect.

NA204 unknown 6U-J 415 SQUADRON
Airborne 1645 5Mar45 from East Moor. Cause of loss and crash-site not established. The majority of this crew had arrived at East Moor 18Oct44, on posting from 61 (RCAF) Base. This raid was part of Operation Thunderclap. F/L W.R.Mitchell RCAF Inj F/O R.C.Barteaux RCAF Inj F/S A.E.Ridley Inj F/O R.D.Loveridge RCAF Inj P/O F.T.Mudry RCAF Inj P/O W.D.Mosey RCAF Inj F/S W.B.Gill RCAF Inj P/O J.R.Gendron RCAF Inj F/O R.C.Barteaux, P/O J.R.Gendron, F/O R.D.Loveridge, P/O W.D.Mosey, F/L W.R.Mitchell, P/O F.T.Mudry, F/S A.E.Ridley and F/S W.B.Gill were confined to Hospital due injuries until Liberation. No PoW Nos. "

All crew members except D. Loveridge were Canadian, he was British.
They were not confined to hospital due to injuries, they were captured POWs until Lib. The crew was shot down and all members bailed and survived the crash.
