Help Please!


Can you help me to find the family or relatives of the men who flew with my grandfather? I am trying to trace anyone related to the following airmen from 35 Squadron who were all killed on March 30th 1942 when the Halifax (R9496 TL-L) they were onboard was shot down in Trondheimfjord, Norway. If you have any information which would help me please e-mail me at archieraf@yahoo.co.uk
