Hi Dee
I haven't been checking this link as I thought it was dead then looked one more time and surprise surprise. Yes I would appreciate any 405 squadron information you may have. I believe my uncle was not in the squadron for all that long but it might give me some added information to trace down WO Johnson. Thanks heaps

My mother’s twin brother Ernest Charles Brunet was the tail gunner in Lancaster JB348 that crashed near Harrenstatte in Germany. On a business trip to Germany I had the honour of paying my respects at his grave in Kleve. I have always had an interest in trying to find out more information about him, and his service record. Through the internet I have found out that the plane was shot down by Major Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer. When my brother and I visited the war museum here in Canberra we were stunned to see the tail of the Major’s ME110 and could clearly see the “kill” stencil of our uncle’s plane. The Australian connection continues with the pilot of the Lancaster, K. R. Wood, who was also killed, coming from Sydney. From the records I have found there was one survivor. Do you have any information on Warrant Officer 1, O. O. Johnson RCAF (mid-upper gunner) or any way to contact his family. I would appreciate any help. I have sent the above to:

No. 405 (RCAF) Squadron Association
Mrs. L.W. Hayes
13 Woodland Way
Petts Wood
Kent
BR5 1NB
England

But I have not had any reply. I am also possibly moving to Vienna later this year and will have a go at finding the crash site
