McKinna was Robert Alexander McKinna. Found this on April 6, 1945:

Air Ministry, 10th April, 1945.
The KING has been graciously pleased to approve
the following awards: —
Bar to Distinguished Flying Cross.
Acting Squadron Leaders.
Kenneth Jack FOSTER, D..F.C. (77915), R.A.F.V.R.,
97 Sqn., with effect from 23rd September, 1943
(since deceased).
Robert Alexander McKiNNA, D.F.C. (69440),
R.A.F.V.R.,| 97 Sqn., with effect from 23rd
September, 1943 (since deceased).

Other reference to McKinna in the LG had him with 156 Sqn when he received his first DFC.

Looks like Ken Foster also had a Bar to his DFC.

Not much help, sorry.
