467 sqn RAAF, it’s good of you to post that information, which follows what I have normally seen before. What was your father’s route in to 467 Squadron; OTU, HCU etc.?
Have you tried researching through the 467 Squadron Association?
I knew a 467 Squadron Wireless Operator Stan Bray and he also flew S for Sugar; he was mentioned here http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?113779 also here’s an extract from a FlyPast article that Stand and me prepared 10 years ago:
“Not only did the crew live to tell their tale, but also in autumn 1943 they flew five Ops on perhaps one of the squadron’s most famous Lancasters, R5868 ‘S for Sugar’, which is now on display in the Bomber Command Museum at the RAF Museum in Hendon. Stan does however note that R5868 was not famous at the time but was actually considered an old airframe because it had completed so many flying hours – but it never let them down!”
