We are all learning from eachother. One more question would be were any other RCAF/RAF servicemen killed in the same accident?

As far as I know only 2 provinces had registrations for Overseas deaths, British Columbia and Ontario. Ontario, Overseas Deaths for 1939-1947

Some other provinces did as well. My mother's uncle was in the RCAF during WWII and was presumed killed during flight operations over Germany. I have a copy of his military file and there is a copy of his death registration issued by Saskatchewan Vital Stats in it.

Robinson appears in RCAF casualty list #692 issued 28 September 1943. The two other RCAF deaths in the same list are buried in the U.K., so not killed or died of injuries in North Africa.

If other Canadians had been killed in action or died of injuries as members of that crew it is most likely that they would have appeared in that same casualty list.

Barry,

I posted your query on the RAF Commands forum and received the following:

The aircraft (Albemarle I, Serial No. P1528) crashed on take-off following an engine failure. Robinson was the only casualty.
