But I wonder if all four airmen were aboard ?
Burden - 1819002 - 78 OTU.
Carley - 2209030 - 78 OTU.
Cotton - 1819049 - 78 OTU.

We are talking about -1653111 Sgt Edmund Toulmin REES RAFVR here, not 1299493 AC2 Elwyn Thomas REES RAFVR, who was lost aboard the SS "AGUILA" (not "AQUILA"),(along with 11 other RAF casualties and 21 WRNS's). The "AGUILA" was torpedoed and sunk by U-201 on 19 August, 1941. https://uboat.net/allies/merchants/crews/ship1063.html
