Re: 153 Sqn Aircrew 1944

Chris,
I guess you have Rapley's pilot, F/O J C Horlock? Can you supply his details?

Unfortunately I have ten or more aircrew with 153 Sqn to check. More than I want to drop on you or Paul. Is this just a matter of slogging through the London Gazette for the officers? What about the enlisted men?

Enjoy!

Frank.

Frank: 134123 John Charles killed with 272 Sqn 9 Dec 44. F540 has R, F H and R H Rapley but I believe it is Frank Rapley as he was POW in the crash that killed Horlock

Maybe Ronald Hugh Rapley 1216908 but what date are you enquiring about ?

I think though it is
W/O Frank Herbert Rapley #1602664 was the PoW in Horlock crash

Re: 153 Sqn Aircrew 1944

Chris & Paul,

Many thanks for the additional details. And since I have the PDF of MAW5 open on my computer for indexing the Americans, I was able to quickly look up the serial number of the aircraft they were flying with 272 Sqn when they crashed.

Enjoy!

Frank.
