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

Hello Darrin,
Wing Commander Blackburn was W/C from 30 Aug. 1944 - 7 April 1945, I have not found a date for the photo yet.

Alan, I have seen this picture in the 434 sqd. book I bought. Any idea what date this picture was taken ?

If it could be any help, I have a flawless original, about 5" high in a thick material. Not sure what they need to do new ones. Will submit link to original soon as Rich Allenby's site is back online.
