RCAF at RAF Middleton St George 1944

A friend has asked to help out with their family history. They're trying to trace a "Johnnie Abbott" who served with the RCAF at Middleton St. George in 1944. They say he was a pilot but I have my doubts......

I've had look and he must have been with either 419 "Moose" or 428 "Ghost" Squadrons operating heavies in 6 Group.

The Moosemen have a good website and it lists some of the flight crews by operations and aircraft through '44 but I can't see any Abbotts (or variations on the name).

428 has very little information.

It seems that the RCAF doesn't post details of anyone's service unless they died - there were a number of Abbotts who died in WW2 but they were all a long way from Bomber operations.

Any suggestions on the best way forward?

Cheers
