Halifax LL343 August 31, 1944

[Osric122]

I am researching the service of my grandfather "Wally" Brown as an RAF Pilot with 298 Squadron.


I am interested in:

• any information about his last flight. The plane (LL343) was apparently hit by flak off Walcheren Island.
• any information of his squadron 298 including any pictures, logs or records from March - September 1944
• contact with relatives of the crew

The crew's last operation was Osric 122. The crew were as follows:


BRADLEY William Age: 33 2209464 Sergeant. (Flight/Eng)
BROWN William, Wallace Age: 30 CAN J20649 Flying Officer. (Pilot)
MacDUFF Robert, Denver Age: 26 NZ 417149 Flying Officer. (Nav)
PEARSON Frederick Age: 21 1578265 Flight Sergeant. (WOP/AG)
SAYLES (DFM) Francis Age: 22 52592 Flying Officer. (B/Aimer)
SMITH John, Bonsall Age: 33 1496761 Flight Sergeant. (Wop/AG)

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Regards.
