1206520Flt.Sgt. Joseph Donald "Mac" MacGregor
Royal Canadian Air Force C Flight 76 Squadron
from:Welwyn SK Canada
Don Macgregor, 3rd from rt, and crew of Halifax bomber "Son of Satan"
My Dad Joseph Donald MacGregor was a Flight Sargent navigator with 76 Squadron on a Mark III Halifax, Holme-on-Spalding-Moor, in Yorkshire during 1944/45. All I know about his time there is what he wrote on the back of a photograph he had of his bomber, (Son of Satan) and his flight crew. He was sometimes called "Mac" or Don, never by his first name of Joseph. As far as I can make out, members of his crew were:
- F/Sgt Bill Williams, rear gunner, RCAF
- F/Sgt 'Cobber' Walker, wireless op, RNZAF
- F/Sgt Don MacGregor, navigator, RCAF
- Sgt Danny Carp, bomb aimer, RAF
- Sgt ?, flight engineer, RAF
- F/O Neat, Pilot, RAF
- Sgt Bill Brewer, mid gunner, RAF
If there is anyone out there who knew my dad or any of his crew, I would be happy to hear from you.
