And the ORB page.

I suspect the only place the crew will be found will be the No. 433 Sqn ORB. There's nothing other than the pilot's name in Chorley's Bomber Command Losses 1944.

Calgary Herald of 8 October 1941 helps to ID two of the three. calgary herald 8 october 1941.png Ernest Curtis is all over the Brandon Sun but as it only goes to 1977 no obituary. https://www.findagrave....
