Icare9 re your post 5770 15 Squadron was RAF Bourn Cambs and if you go to Home - RAFBournmemorial and go to squadron losses you will see all 15 squadron losses whilst at Bourn ( without an e which is in Lincs )

Also a memorial plaque is being laid on August 24th which I will attend as my father was there in 15 squadron late 42/early 43

I see from reading Oxford's Own ( History of 15/XV Squadron ) that the Pilot Sgt John Gurr had applied for a commission which was granted three weeks after his death so he was buried with the rank of Pilot Officer.I was until I read that going to say my father would probably have come across him in the Officers Mess but clearly that was not the case.
