F/Lt. William Edwin Grantham

Royal Air Force 61 Squadron

from:Coventry

(d.8th July 1944)

My Uncle is William Edwin "Ted" Grantham. He was the pilot of Lancester ND867 (QR-V) of 61 Squadron Skellingthorpe, that was shot down at Moliens, France, on the 8th July 1944, returning from the raid on St. Leu d'Esserent.

I am trying to contact relatives of his crew. Five of the 7 perished, one evaded capture, and the other was a POW. I've contacted the daughter and nephew of Cliff Young, the brother of Bill Hobbs, and the niece of Charlie Bolser. I would like to contact anyone related to, or who knew 1431592 Ronald Towndrow (WOP) and 1852464 Peter Henry Baigent (Rear Gunner). Thanks for contacting me if you have any information
