Sgt Robert Robinson McGarvey

Royal Air Force 460 Squadron

from:Glasgow

My late father, Bob McGarvey, was only 20 when he signed up as an RAF VR in Glasgow in May 1941. Based at Binbrook as a a WOP/AG, his Pathfinder Lancaster aircraft ED 658 crashed 8/9 October 1943 at Bahnof during Operation Hanover. All the crew became POWs. Dad was in Stalag Luft 6 and Stalag 357 until he was repatriated in 1945. Since I was only two when dad died, I would be interested to hear from any of the family of the crew or Bomber Command who included:

  • Pilot F/O M C Caffyn (RAAF)
  • Flight Engineer Sgt C W J Marshall (RAF)
  • omb Aimer F/S N L Wulff (RAAF)
  • Navigator F/O F Brown (RAAF)
  • Air gunner A/G Sgt R N Cannon (RAF)
  • Air Gunner F/S T A Richardson (RAF)
