Further research on 158 Squadron shows that Sergeant John Ernest Loudoun (RAFVR) bailed out and became a POW. His Trade is listed as "Air Gunner".
It is most likely that this Halifax took off from RAF Lissett (Yorkshire).

I understand from some research that one of the crew of Halifax (JN884Np-F) bailed out and survived. I do not know which one. All other crew members are buried at Middenmeer Cemetry (Holland).

I see you live in Shetland. I live in Kirkwall.
I hope I have attached a photograph of my Uncle Ken. He had two sisters Barbara (my mother - now dead), and Patricia. My mother married a Polish Sergeant in the Free Polish Air Force. He was also shot down over Germany flying a Halifax. He survived POW Camp and went on to become a Master Pilot in the RAF.
He changed his Polish surname from Wolski to the (more) English name of Soames.
Regards,
Christopher Soames

I am a relative of Sergeant Kenneth Larkin. I have a photograph if it is of interest to you?
