My Grandmother's cousin Pilot Officer Henry(Harry) Moncrieff Owens (Service no 88012)was with 50 squadron and died 17th July 1941 aged 24 when his plane was shot down over Germany. He is commemorated at Runnymede. My late mother had a photo of him but I can't find it. I remember he was a handsome chap with a moustache wearing an officers hat. He may well be in that photo somewhere. He was Scottish."
From the Squadron Orbs. "Aircraft AD 844 P/O Owens, P/O Mitchell, F/Sgt Russell. Sgt. Owen. This aircraft set out to bomb an aiming point at Hamburg. Two fixes were obtained by this aircraft and an I.F.F. plot made, fading out at 01.14 hours. Nothing further was heard from this aircraft."
This aircraft was "Missing Presumed Ditched."
Hello David, I've just managed to join this group . Harry Owens was my uncle and I'm sure that I can fill many gaps in your knowledge about him. I, of course, would like to fill my gaps.
I don't know where we go from here but please try to get back to me.
Regards
Flying Scot
