Howard Wigham’s research has come up with the following names for his father’s crew in 1941-42. Hopefully someone out there will have more information on these men and will be able to place the other faces on the photograph.:

New Zealander Sgt A C Callender NZ403422 was the pilot and is presumably at fourth left

Sgts Ward, Young and Wigham were the other regulars in the five and sometimes six-man crew, while the other two or three postions, sometimes also substituting Ward, were drawn from the following:
|
|
F/O Doig, Justice, Appleby, Hewitt DFM, Jones, Foxcroft, Borsberry, Bunting, P/O Keen and Pilkington.
