Names of the Crew

Thanks guys.

I do have the names, I was a little unsure as to whether I should post them or not, however, here goes.

I set out their Service No. as well as the position I suspect that they held where this is not known at this stage.

The complete crew members are as follows :-

WINNEKE, Leslie Harold 417032(Australian) Pilot Officer RAAF - Pilot (?)

GRAVES, Edward George 186550 Pilot Officer RAFVR - Flight Engineer

MAHONEY, John Joseph 273734 Australian) Flight Lieutenant RAAF - Navigator (?)

WRIGHT, Raymond Hedley 1579870 Sergeant - RAFVR - Bomb Aimer

FROST, Reginald Roy 1580431 Signaller RAFVR - Wireless Operator

IFE, Alan 1375322 Flight Sergeant RAFVR - Gunner (?)

MOORE, James Alexander 1117487 Sergeant RAFVR - Gunner (?)


I also thought it was interesting that the UK crew members were originally from RAFVR at that stage in the war.

The above information has been found via the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Many thanks for your help.
