Hi Folks
I am trying to find out more information on the loss of a 58 sqn Halifax HR746 lost over the Bay of Biscay on 16/8/1943. I am in contact with a relative of Flying Officer George William Webster (136712) who would like to know what happened to the aircraft and the rest of the crew.
Any help much appreciated!
JK
