Wellington B. Mk. X HE656 Squadron 428

[aerodieppe]

Good evening,


I'm researching the Wellington B. Mk. X HE656 of Squadron 428 and its crew.
- Flying Officer Dingley, Linwood Alton (RCAF) Bomb Aimer
- Pilot Officer Kelly, Paul Grant (RCAF) Wireless Air Gunner
- Sergeant Lundy, Ernest Edward (RCAF) Air Gunner
- Flight Sergeant Mann, Walter Edward (RCAF) Pilot
- Flying Officer O'Brien, Wallace Wesley (RCAF) Navigator
The plane crashed in France on 12 May 1943 and all 5 crew members were killed.


Do you have any information for me?
I'm also trying to trace their families.


Thank you in advance for your help.
Francois

Good evening Stig,

Thank you very much for the link, which I didn't know about.
It gave me access to documents that I didn't have.
What's more, the webmaster sent them to me.

Best regards,
François
