Hello Laurent,
Thanks for your replies, most welcome.
As I thought an MACR is for "aircrew" but there are some who were lost under other circumstances that do have an MACR, cannot name them right now without searching but there were.
I do have the ships name and the names of the airmen on board who were as said not officers, so just wondered if an officer would that have warented an MACR ?
As I have previously believed that rank made no difference.
Maybe an MACR was not made because the ships name and their fate and place ( Lat/Long) of loss was known as happened in Europe when they came down in allied territory ?
Again Many thanks
Alex
