From my records...
19-20 Nov 43; FS LG Preece RCAF 78 Sqn Halifax MkII JD118 EY-U
Airborne from Breighton at 1616 on raid to Leverkussen. Crashed on return at North Cave Humberside. Survived.
20-21 Jan 44; (no record as Canadian this time) 78 Sqn Halifax MkIII LV813 EY-?
Airborne from Elvington at 0045 on raid to Stutgart. Crash landed on return at Dunsford. Survived.
I have no further losses involving him logged. If he was captured then was he acting as Liaison with the army?

Have completed a Google search for Preece and the service number. This came up with a prisoner of war record for RCAF airmen. There is no date of loss in the record although it does confirmm that he was in StalagLuft III.
