Maurice Bennett

Could someone help me with a long shot?
During the last war Maurice Bennett a friend of my father, joined the RAF as a pilot. When we went to Winthorpe museum a few years ago, dad is sure tha he saw Maurice on oneof the unit photo's there. I tried the museum but they were unable to help further.

I've tried Gooogle - there was a Maurice Bennett on there, but he was on 102 Sqn flying Halifaxes. Dad's pretty sure Maurice flew Lancasters. He's also sure Maurice becae a Wing Commander and, at one stage, visited the US with his crew. Both Maurice and dad come from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.

I've read earlier posts, and am trying the London Gazette website. Judging by the slow response, most of PPrune's members are on there right now!

Can any of you help?

Thanks in advance
