topgas (#8633),
Thank you for the link. Followed it up, and found:
...FO Anthony J. Davies of Lloydminster............. His luck ran out Dec. 17, 1943, when he was returning to Kumbhirgram airfield from a mission He probably did not know that a 250-pound bomb had “hung up” on the port wing. As he landed the bomb fell off. It exploded, wrecking the aircraft and instantly killing Davies along with his RAF gunner...
We already knew it was not Reg Duncan, now we know who it was (I was not there at the time).

More on this tomorrow. Danny.
