I have just had communication from Aitkin's nephew who wrote Thank you, Karl. We hope to see you on the forum soon
I originally obtained the casualty data from CWGC and which states FO Aiken's age as 29. Karl has already written to caribbean aircrew and Hans has corrected the age on the website and I have done so on my database, citing Karl as the source and authority for the correction - mea culpa
