Who is who on this photo of the crew from the Short Stirling W7567

Hi,

I found a picture from the Internet with the caption: crew of the Short Stirling MG-D W7567 (No. 7 bomber sqaudron). He crashed on September 16, 1942 in the IJsselmeer in Holland. Now I'm curious who is who in this picture. The following persons were in this plain:

Ben Dallenger - Pilot
William James Anderson - W.Op / Air Gunner
Ronald Hugh Crabtree - Air Gunner
Harry Oldfield Goddard - Air Gunner
Donald Trevor Lamb - Observer
Peter Sandison - Flight Engineer
Robert Edward Clarke - Pilot

I hope someone has the answer to my question. This is the link to the photo: http://www.historyofwar.org/Pictures..._7sqn_MG-D.jpg

Thanks in advance and kind regards

Rene Bosma from Holland

From left to right: 1st and 3rd men are wearing pilot brevets (wings). 2nd and 4th men are wearing aircrew brevets (half wing). But your last two, 5 and 6 are not wearing any brevets suggesting perhaps groundcrew. Both appear to be sergeants.
