Hello Jose,


At time of writing, I have not beenable to find much about this 'loss'.

58 Squadron transferred from Bomber Command to Coastal Command on the 7th of April 1942.

I did find a listing on the Commonwealth Wargraves Commission site, for which you can follow up with the other crew. The less you type in the better, so to speak.

Regards,
John
