Sgt. Basil Jones

Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve flt eng. 419 Sqd.

(d.8th Aug 1944)

Basil Jones flew with my uncle, William Longmore. The aircraft Lancaster X KB-755 coded VR-F and entire crew were lost on the 8th Aug.1944 on a mission near Caen

The crew were:

  • F/O B. Walker RCAF
  • Sgt. B. Jones RAF
  • P/O J. Durrant RCAF
  • F/O P. Merrick RCAF
  • W/O1 J. Schryer RCAF
  • F/Sgt. W. Longmore RAF
  • F/Lt M. Wilson RCAF

I am trying to trace a photograph of F/Sgt William Longmore the mid upper Gunner. Any and all info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
