Flight Lieutenant Bamford1 made a gallant attack on a German U-boat off the Spanish coast early in 1944. There were three other New Zealanders in his crew—Flying Officer Colquhoun, navigator, Flying Officer Medcalf, wireless operator, and Flying Officer Cull as gunner. During the approach, which was made in bright moonlight, accurate flak from the U-boat set the Wellington on fire, but Bamford completed his attack before bringing his Wellington down on the sea; neither he nor his navigator survived but the remainder of his crew were picked up from their dinghy by a Polish destroyer

No problem Vincent. Sorry I couldn't get time to check the books before.

For now, a picture of Lip-Guey. From Searching for the Hudson Bombers By J. R. Stevens

Vincent might be worth cutting and pasting your thread and list on the following sites as well:
www.rootschat.com (its mostly genealogical but it has a thriving military section)
www.cfww2.com (specially for commonwealth forces threads)
I am sure the guys on here will come up trumps but spreading your net elsewhere will at least broaden your chances...
