They're listed as members of 78 OTU , died 3 November 1944 http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/sho...rmen-3-11-1944 but that is all the details I have.There was a Baltimore lost in the area and the pilot killed and body recovered GODDARD, Harry - F/L (Pilot) - 47525 - RAF Baltimore V, FW561 of No 1330 CU,- Tel El Kebir War Memorial cemetery, Egypt. but think the OTU only had Wellingtons.

You could get a photographer/researcher to copy the ORB pages for you from both the OTU and the CU, save all the guessing.
Cost a few pound only.

Hello,
The reason I asked was that for Rees, Henk's list has - Sgt. Edmund T. Rees - 1653111 - SS. Aquila. At this time I have no idea what if anything happened to the SS. Aquila. But I wonder if all four airmen were aboard ? Burden - 1819002 - 78 OTU. Carley - 2209030 - 78 OTU. Cotton - 1819049 - 78 OTU. Alex |

Hello Col,
Good that you noticed the spelling error and name. Perhaps you should contact Henk's and ask him to correct his list Hello Dennis, Re: JA298 yes was with 78 OTU and SOC 9.11.46 according to AB JA100 -JZ999. All the best Alex |
