"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.

Sergeant George Irvine Bailey, 19 år, var søn af George Thomas Bailey og Margaret Bailey, Orrell, Bootle, Lancashire, United Kingdom.
Hans navn er på Panel 141 på the Runnymede Memorial blandt mere end 20.000 navne på flyvere, der ikke har en kendt grav. (Kilde: CWGC)

5 flyvere fra LAN ED878 har ingen kendt grav, 1 er begravet i Kirkeby på Rømø og 1 i Hamburg i Tyskland.
Se Lancaster fotos. 7 flyvere.
