Hewetson and Dowling are well known to me as I've extensive research of their 625 Sqn crew.
Does anyone have any information on the others; It would be good to add some details to these photos and interesting to summarise what happened to them.
I have tried the London Gazette for details of the officers but without success.

Best regards

Mike
