Hi Sarah-I hope you get this message, I only found this site just before Christmas.
My Dad was also on XM 604 when she went down, he was a navigator too, Benny Goodman.
My Mum kept on touch with the Taits and Gilletts for a long time, but after she died I lost touch.
I found it amazing the number of people who remembered the crash, and was very grateful to find out a bit more about what happened.
If you happen to be in Cottesmore in January we may bump in to each other, as it will be 40 years I thought I would visit the cemetery.
Regards
Sara
