The loss information of S/L Mulfords Wellington I quoted is from"Bomber Command Losses 1943",sorry It was not fully accurate. Whether it applied to your father's aircraft I do not know,but many aircraft shot down over Holland crashed in The Zieder Zee, an area of Holland allowed to be flooded by the sea during the occupation,many were subsequently recovered after the War.My own father survived his first tour with 50 Sqd and then, even more fortunatly a second tour on Stirlings with 15 Sqd in 1943.Wishing you well in the search for information,amazing that the sons of two men who flew together 68 years a go find themselves able to contact each other!

Here's a site dedicated to Earl Rheaume, one of S/Ldr. Mulford's crew when they were shot down.

There have been many amendments and addition's to Bill Chorley's books on the history of Bomber Command and he certainly welcomes any others and the information contained in the books should not be regarded as gospel.
I myself have supplied information to him about one aircraft that had a crew of 8 when it crashed and not 7 as he had in the book.
There is a list of amendments and addtions at this address hosted by the 207 Squadron Association web site.
