Re: RAF 61st Squadron Daniel Dunkley August 1944

Sorry, I do not have any photos.

The aircraft was Lancaster III PA998 QR-O of 61 Sqn and crashed near Gross Gerau on the night of 25-26.08.44


The crew was

F/L E R Church RCAF Pilot - Died
Sgt D Dunkley RAF Flight Engineer - POW
F/O S A Fleming RCAF Navigator - POW
W/O1 W E Lewis RCAF Bomb Aimer - POW
Sgt T Moffat RAF Wireless Operator - Died
Sgt A J Anderson RCAF Mid Upper Gunner - Died
Sgt F Kohut RCAF Rear Gunner - Died


NB The RAF did not use ordinals st, nd, rd, th in its naming of units- the squadron is No. 61 Squadron RAF. Would not want to be confused with the Army or Americans

Regards

Martin
