Bemærk hvordan S/Sgt J.G. Heilich fra B24 42-95144 blev reddet i Østersøen af danske fiskere, overført til et tysk fartøj og senere tvunget til at grave en grav. Efter nogle få timer fandt han ud af, at graven ikke var til ham selv! Se p329MACRforklaring. Det passer med P/O M.A.G. Fournier fra HAL JD456 og Magleby Kirkegård.

2 flyvere fra HAL JD456 begravet i Magleby på Langeland og 1 i Aabenraa. 4 flyvere har ingen kendt grav.
