Again - sorry for the delay. Unfortunately I shudder a little when it comes to the ORBs from 1945 - a significant part are virtually unreadable!. However have found him and the crew.
As the target photo shows he was part of the McVicar crew, who was an Australian. The aircraft that they flew on the Op to Cologne (02/03/45) was a Halifax VI PP179 which FTR on Ops to Witten 19/03/45.
On 1/2-2-45 they flew Halifax MZ426 on Ops to Mainz.
The crew comprised of (as far as I can best make out!) -
P/O A McVicar (Australian)
Sgt K Lewis?
Sgt R C Walker
P/O C W Turvey (Australian)
Sgt V. D. Wiggins
Sgt A G Gardener?
Sgt S R Bridges
As said hard to decipher but done the best...........
Cheers
Neil
