I have seen two other post ref crew 81 but I cannot contact the authors involved.It would seem we all have information about our fathers service together.It would be nice to be able to contact them directly.

I am the brother of the late FLT r bannister DFC rear gunner of (crew) 68 434 squadron RCAF croft I recently found a portrait photograph of his pilot
F/O howard j Hawley DFC who as a young teenager I remember him well as he came to my home with my brother on a rest period...
thought it would be interesting to contact members of his family (if any) and send them a copy of his photograph along with my memories of him and
his recommendation for the DFC . however after hours of research I have been unable to find any evidence of his life on returning to Saskatchewan
or record of his family. I would be grateful if anyone could help.

Hi! have recently discovered that my Daughter-in-law's Grandfather served with 434 and am wondering where I should search for more info. His name was G G Shaw who is listed in crew 128.. I should be most interested to learn of any possible 'leads' that may exist in your records .I believe he was a 'failed to return' in 1945. Thanks. John Newby

My father-in-law, Keith Magrath (God rest his soul) was a WWII pilot officer with 434 Squadron who flew I think 35 missions between 1943 and 1944.

The other day we were cleaning out the basement and came across a box of memorabilia including pictures, medals, a "Target Token" card and Keith's RCAF Pilot's Flying Log Book.

Would you be interested in images of any of this for your website?

Hello Alan: I came across your website while I was looking for more information in my father's RCAF records. He was a Sargent Airframe Mechanic and Hydraulic Specialist ground crew working mostly on Halifaxes and Lancasters at Croft attached to Squadrons 431 and 434. Irecognized the bomber exploding at croft and we have another picture taken only some seconds after your posted picture. I will download your site tommorrow to take to my father to see if he recognizes any of the names. I hope to be able to pass on some enlightening information someday soon. Cheers,
Brian H. Ruddell
