k4kittycrew · Squadron Leader

Vortex100, These details you may already have. I've done a quick search and this is all I have at this point.

F/S H. C. Noon is not listed on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site so it may be fair to say he survived the war.

From Chorleys RAF Losses - 1944, lists ..........

I'm still having a look around, but F/S Noon is listed as being in Camp Stalag Luft 7near the Polish border, his PoW number was 42. So far no other info found.
I'll see if I can find anything else.

My great uncle, FLTLT Robert Charles Andersen was the Pilot on this aircraft. It would be interesting to contact relatives of his crew. I would be particularly interested to get copies of any photographs in which he appears.
