    Was wondering if anyone has bomber command losses book details for the following Canadian Officer -

    Pilot Officer Leslie Robert Townsend 199 Squadron RCAF killed flying Wellington Bomber 9/4/1943.

    Would like to know where his last mission was- i think it was either Duisburg or whilst minelaying off Biscay coast (both missions lost wellingtons to 199 squadron 8/9 April). Also think code of plane was HE494 - can anyone confirm this.

    If anyone can help then thankyou.
