Research Bomber command

[kev stevens]

I have been tying to trace the MRES filEs which give the position of each aircraft loss and crew burial details. The Australian National Archives have most on line and I have paid for another one and have found LK922's as well which has not been digitised yet. Cost $15 nd will do that overnext few days. Have sent list of RCAF crew to the canadian archives and am waiting for a reply. If you've got an email address I'll start feeding some bits to you, I've got lots of copies and photo's of files from the national archives. Still raw data, yet to be given any order and narrative to be written. What I really wanted fro the archives at Kew are the group reports of crews reporting flak, aircraft seen going down but they don't exist for january 44.
