Re: F/Lt E.A. CAMPBELL 219 Squadron RAF

Hello.
Thank you very much.
F/O Eric Charles WELLS (119513) is the easier part of the puzzle.
Replacement : W/O George Henry LAWRENCE (new navigator ).
The big mystery is F/Lt Ewen Alexander CAMPBELL (pilot) 219 Sqdn RAF. (probably RNZAF). Confirmed at 219 Sqdn ORB.
The service number is missing only.
Cheers Pavel

The few records I can get to on fold3.com for him, don't show his service number. Also, many of the New Zealand records don't seem to be online.

The records https://www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-m...otaph/search?: do not show his service number.
A great mystery. Pavel
