Unfortunately, it dissapeared over Canada. And for that year, nothing was found. As the Will's were filed in my office, I had to supervise the movement of the familes out of th e Marriage patch, as soon as possible..for morral reasons. I think there were 9 crew..but at 75 my memory only remembers the shock of our first attempt to fly one to the USA. 1959. I wrote to Imperial War Museum and Bomber Command ( of which Society I am a life member), but received no replies.
