Hi Dee
You will also notice  that the pilot of my great uncle's plane, Edward Saywell was RNZAF.

I have placed some of his log book pages on the site already, and I do have other things too, but I got them through the sole survivor's grandson, and I'm not happy about putting these other things on there until I have contacted the relative of F/O Saywell's who was in contact with Ron Wisson... as yet that has not been possible.

Thanks for the encouragement, its starting to get there now..
All the best
Chris

Hi Sarah,
Wondering if you are still on here and living near Chievres still??

I have started a project concerning my great uncle who died on the 14th July 1943, and as part of that I am logging all the crew that went down that same night on the same mission.

One of the crews is listed in your original post:

466 Sqn Well' LN288 HD- 14/07/43 Target Aachen
Shot down by Flak and crashed 0215 near Chievres (Hainaut),
Flt Sgt W A Gunning  Royal Australian Air Force
Flt Sgt H C Jordan  Navigator  Royal Canadian Air Force
Flt Sgt R Feakes  Royal Australian Air Force
Sgt D W Covell  Wireless Operator/Air Gunner RAF
Sgt T F Cummins  Air Gunner RAF

If you have photo's of these graves I would be very pleased to add them to my growing site.
This is LN288's page so far.. http://www.chrisandodette.co.uk/AachenRaid/466ln288.html

I have only been doing the site for three weeks so lots of work still to be done.

All the best

Chris (my email address is on the web site)
