Sgt Lythed RAAF and crew info needed...
Hiya all,
I have picked a few nice photos up on ebay, hence the few pleas for help on here! The first is info on a Sgt Lythed and his crew. They were in a crash in Malta. I am trying to find any info on the type of aircraft and anything further on the crew. Any help would be great. (Photos attached). Thanks Danny

Re: Sgt Lythed RAAF and crew info needed...
,Hello,
Never any Lythed in the RAAF, WWII. The airman is 938367 Sgt Dennis LYTH, he was involved in the following incident: 14-15 September 1941 No.38 Squadron RAF Wellington IC X9685 Op: Tripoli. Took off Luqa to lay mines off Tripoli Harbour. On return the starboard engine cut out near Malta and the propeller and reduction gear were lost; crash-landed at Luqa.
