He eventually arrived back in India some months later and was the only survivor. Following that he was declared unfit for further frontline duties.

Sgt. Walter Gracey Thompson . Royal Air Force 78 Squadron from Belfast (d.2nd June 1942) My uncle Walter Gracey Thompson, from Belfast in Northern Ireland, was a pilot with 78 Squadron of Bomber Command from Croft during WW2. He held the rank of Sergeant and flew a Halifax plane, code EY- Mark 11. On 2nd June 1942 he was shot down and killed off the Dutch coast, aged 22. He was buried at Essen and is commemorated at Runnymede. Many years after his death it was still painful for his older brother,my father, and the rest of the family to talk about him, so I don't know much about his life. I remember being told that like some of the other pilots, he had a little dog he used to take on flights with him, although it was forbidden. I would be interested to hear of any pets the airmen kept and any other details of how they lived.
