seems to have similar facial features. Wouldn't it be wonderful to know for sure.

Hi
A friend  (very knowledgeable about RCAF) just found this photo on Canadian Virtual War Memorial and she thinks it is probably Gaston Caron, someone had the photo because Caron was not on that flight.

There is a military Museum in Manitoba (Canada) which put out the book "They Shall Grow Not Old". It lists the 18,000 + airmen and women who died overseas in WWII, there are no personal photos in the book but they might have access to records with photos on them.

Would you like me to pass the message & photo on to them and see if they can help?

Hi China,
I think you are right. I found an enlargement of the group photo in this newspaper article

Hi
I just stumbled across this and at the same time came across an entry on Find a Grave which might answer your question as there is a group photo on this page
