    Bomber Command.

    Can anyone please tell me if 614 were in Bomber Command. I always thought they were but have been told that they never were and certainly not in June 1944 even though a couple if sites say they were, well in the RAF anyway…
    I would love some help on this… g

    I have had a think about all of this and have come to the conclusion that my best bet is to wait until after Christmas and then save some pennies and send for his records from the War Office. I hope that that way I will get a clearer picture. I have no idea how encompassing they will be but it is well worth a try.

    Thank you very much for your reply. I had found the crew and that they were all buried in the same cemetery, although the fact that they were all buried in the same “plot” I hadn’t realised, and would not have known the implication. I have found reference to it being a “sort of pathfinding mission”. Have you any idea what that might mean? I have discovered that at that time the Germans were rounding up the Jews from all around Hungary, and wonder if it was something to do with that. Thank you for the hint about JP137, I will have a hunt and see what I can find.
