Flt.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

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.

I have this same photo in my mother’s photo album. She was friends with Bill Williams, who sent her the photo. The names are the same as listed, with the addition of Stan Bunny, listed 2nd from right, engineer, London, England. Also, the “skippers” first name is listed as Ralph Neat, from Ashford, Kent. Your father is listed as Mac macGregor, navigator, Canada.
