Robert Gilmour, Lancaster Bomber Navigator

Yes this Sgt Gilmour was a WOp rather than a Nav but I know these things can get distorted over the years so I thought it worth a mention.

Sgt Gilmour's Service Record would still be the best way to go to narrow it down.

I believe Bomber Loss Cards were only produced for aircraft that were lost outside of the UK - I'm not sure that an aircraft ditching in the channel would qualify if survivors were picked up?

I stumbled across two cards for crews that had been picked up after ditching in the North Sea while returning from ops. I didn't find Gilmour's crew though.

Oh ok Justin. I wasn't sure in the cases of aircraft that had ditched so thanks for confirming that Loss Cards were produced for them.
