Hi Dario. Welcome to the forum. I've come up with the following info via Bomber Command Losses Vol.1 - W R. Chorley. 25-26 May 1940 37 Squadron. Wellington IC L7793 LF- Op. Communications. Crew. S/L. A R. Glencross + P/O. J S. Cameron + Sgt. R C. Parkhouse + LAC. Dear. AC1. Stanhope. Took off Feltwell to attack enemy lines of communications between Courtrai and Brussels. Forced landed near Oostende (West Vlaanderen) Belgium. It is likely the entire crew survived, though S/L. Glencross is known to have drowned when the SS. Abukir was sunk on 28 May 1940. P/O. Cameron and Sgt. Parkhouse probably lost their lives while being evacuated on 26 May 1940, While LAC. Dear and AC1. Stanhope are assumed to have reached safety. The three airmen who died are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial. The parents of P/O. Cameron lived in Cuba.
SS. Abukir 28 May 1940. The steamer Abukir 694 tons torpedoed and sunk by E-boat north of Dunkirk while carrying troops and refugees from Ostend to Dover.
Peter Excellent and very detailed information, thank you very much! :thankyousign: Surprised by how it retains great detail about these records. You might mention as a more detailed search personnel who served for the crown in the Second World War? I have a short list of men linked to South america, who would like a little investigating its service record. Perhaps some pilot photo, or details of the airplane and their marks, mentioned in the accident. Thank you for your welcome! Greetings! Dario
