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 Last edited by Alex Smart; 14th April 2011 at 02:53. |

Re: Wellington Crew names ?
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 - +++ ERINNERUNG Durch den Absturz ihres Wellington-Flugzeuges am 20.
