F/Lt. Allan Pluis Whitford DFC

Royal Australian Air Force 83 Sqdn.

from:Australia

(d.9th May 1944)

I have been researching some of the history of my uncle Alan Whitford and his aircrew. He was from Western Australian and was a pathfinder pilot with the RAF 83, Squadron during the Second World War. He and his crew were shot down over Lanveoc Poulmic on a raid on either the airfield or the submarine pens at Brest. The full crew were:

  • F/Lt. A.P. Whitford DFC, RAAF
  • F/Sgt. L.W.J. Arnold, RAFVR
  • P/O R.J. Dobbyn, RAAF
  • WO D.H.J. Cross, RAFVR
  • PO N.J. Higgins, RAAF
  • F/Lt. W.T. Loftus, RAAF
  • Sgt. H.G. Millard, RAFVR All are buried in Lanveoc Communal Cemetery.
