Wow. The power of the internet - and PPRuNe.
I have learned more about my great uncle in 2 hours than I have in 42 years.
Forget - many thanks. I had enough info from the CWGC site to have a look through the Lost Bombers site as you suggested.
I now know what Op he was on, where from, what happened to him and the rest of the crew (night fighter - including the name of the perp!), the airframe he was in. He was one of three KIA; the other three lived to tell the tale. I note from a sentimental p.o.v. that the three fallen comrades are buried alongside each other in the cemetary.
To say I am overwhelmed is a mastery of understatement.
Thank you all. The beers are definitely on me next round.
Very best regards,
Nacluv
