Gentlemen,
Thank you for the warm welcome and your interest in my research into my Great Uncle.
As suggested the first date in question is probably a return to Moncton before returning to the UK.
The other date I cant make head 'nor tail of is the entry toward the bottom of the page at ?.6.44, possibly some kind of special leave as his crew flew without him on 8.6.44, I suppose that's the joy of handwritten notes.
The next step is to send everything I've got off to my Aunt in Scotland and my Great Uncles in Australia to see if I can track down his log book.
Thanks to the wealth of information available online about 617 Sqdn. I've been able to read about some of the missions he flew, sadly his last flight was returning from the 11.09.44 raid on the Tirpitz.
Due to the distances involved, Yagodnik in Russia was used as a staging post and the aircraft crashed in Norway during their return flight to the UK on 17.09.44
The crew are buried in Nesbyen churchyard in Norway, here are a couple of links relating to Nesbyen.

Kind regards
