"Under et bombeangreb på Hamburg nedstyrtede en Lancaster i havet den 25. juli 1943 (omkring her siger AOD). Det må have været under det første af 4 store angreb på Hamburg i slutningen af juli og i begyndelsen af august 1943." (FAF)

A.G. Broadmore blev antagelig begravet i Kirkeby på Rømø af en tysk feltpræst den 4. september 1943. G.I. Bailey, J.C. Hamilton, C.F. Kilner, F.F. O'Hanlon og R.L. Perry har ingen kendt grav. T.E. Witts blev begravet i Hamburg.
