Wellington Crew names ?

Hello,

Seeking possible contact with surviving aircrew of a Wellington X, lost on 20/21st August 1944.
Serial number MF350 "EP-A" of 104 Squadron
Pilot: Flt/Sgt. H. J. Potter.
Nav: Sgt. D. M. Herbert.
Bomb: Sgt. W. E. Davies.
all rest in collective grave 5. D.2 in Klagenfurt War Cemetery.
The names of the other crew members I am reliably informed were
Sgt. E. M. J. Tolhurst
and
Sgt. L. P. James
They survived to become POW's.

Tolhurst passed away in 2008, is James still with us ?
It would be great to make contact perhaps with him or with any relatives of this crew.

Many thanks for replies.
Alex

Hello All,
Just to let you know that there will be a Commemoration at the crash site by the Comunity of Aschbach on the 4th September 2011 in memory of Wellington MF350's aircrew with a placing of a Memorial Plaque at the site.

I am reliably informed that the words on the Plaque are to be -
+++
