Mick and Raymond Ward

[noggin]

I'm after some info on the above names both flying for the RAF both from the Collingham area of Nottinghamshire. Raymond Ward was killed in France when Lancaster mk3 JB405 was lost in 44. Mick was injured in a forced land possible a Wellington. He later went on to fly with 161 Sqn on special ops in Stirlings. He was shot in the neck during one of these trips but survived the war. Sorry for so little info but my dad was only young at the time and can only remember the odd detail.
