Any clues where I can look to find out more?

Thanks

if it is the one that I am thinking of, it was a york and it chrashed with the loss of everyone except the wireless op! I used to work beside him in Bldg 118 at Pitreavie Castle, he used to put a memorial advert in the Telegraph every 21st of November, the anniversary of the chrash.

Sorry but I do not have any other details
