My uncle John Harland took part in the dam busters raid, he was a pilot, he and his crew of 6 were shot down and killed while returning home, over Holland and that is where he is buried. I can not find any record of his name listed on websites, could any one shed any light on why.
Hi Alan,thank you for solving the mistery, I have found out from my brother he was in 514 Squadron.
Many thanks
Alicia
