Chorley also says that "the body of Sgt. Haney washed ashore on 19 September at Norderplep and was laid to rest at Büsum. Since 1945, he has been taken to Kiel War Cemetery."
The correct crew for No.104 Sqn Wellington II W5416:EP-A, is as follows:

61045 F/L (Capt./Pilot) William Westbrooke BURTON BA (Oxon), RAFVR +
AUS404274 Sgt (2nd Pilot) Keith Moore WOODHEAD* RAAF +
1280935 Sgt (Obs.) James HANEY RAFVR ** +
942099 Sgt (1st W.Op.) Harry Ellse JOHNSON RAFVR +
R/57837 F/Sgt (2nd W.Op.) Douglas Crosbie MARSHALL RCAF +
J/15013 P/O (Air Gnr.) Jack Goode ROGERS RCAF +
