Hello, and thank you for this wonderful site.

My family found your posting and photos of the above named wreck. The Co-Pilot was our young uncle, and one of the survivors. After his recovery he gave an interview to the BBC describing this crash and the details of the rescue by shepherds. Very interesting. We have a transcript of that interview, and photographs of F/Lt Bert MacDonald if you would care to add them to the wreck information. He was RCAF originally, and stayed on as RAF. He died in the crash of a Mosquito III HJ962 over Marham airbase on Aug.11, 1943.

Congratulations on such important work.
