I'm looking after some extra information about WO Pym William H. RCAF, gunner, R/99568, of the 166 Sqn who died on the 03/04 of July 1943 above Belgium. The Wellington HF595 was shot down by Hptm Wandam Siegfried of I/NJG5 above Neerhespen (Belgium) and according to some eyewitnesses the aircraft crashed at Helen-Bos near Saint-Trond (Belgium). A witness saw the body of a Canadian (WO Pym William H) lying in the barbwires in a field with a unopened parachute. Crew was first buried on the Allied cemetry of the German air base of Brustem (Saint-Trond, Belgium) and transfered to Heverlee war cemetry after the war. Thanks,
Alexander

You may wish to contact the 'National Archives' to obtain the ORB's for this gentleman. By doing so, you identify overall crew listing for each op of the said serviceman, as well as details from his final op. Regards, John
