Thanks a lot UDF!

I still miss these...

W.Op/Obs Sgt Colwell normally flying with Sgt Demoulin

and

W.Op/Obs Sgt Gill normally flying with P/O Watters

[Daniele Gatti]

Gill was Sgt John B. Gill PoW on April 5, 1942 with P/O Gee FTR from mission on Jalo aerodrome.

[Daniele Gatti]

Colwell was crash landed (safely?) with Sgt Demoulin on January 9, 1942 near Mersa Matruh but by this point I have not heard from him...
