There is a lot more info about the operation they were on here:

Very sad.
[on a lighter note - I like the way this forum honours its long -serving members with the title "smart-arse"  ]

Under the member's names - e.g. Eddie
The article says that the NZ airman's age was 28, not 22 as per CWGC.

George Owen Sharman
if we're looking at teh right one (born 1883) he was born in Keymer Sussex according to 1901
he probably attended Varndeans Boys School in Brighton and Hove district
http://www.oldvarndeanians.org.uk/vboys/yearlists/y1895.html
in the class of 1906 were two other Sharman's - Cyril L and William N - I think this this is too early for them to be the half siblings of Peter tho

Have found someone who is related to Sharmans from Keymer area of Sussex so I have contacted him to see if there is a connection or he can shed light on the search
there is a Sharman genealogy page here:

Thought I'd first check the facts in the BBC article before seeing where they would lead.
Births September Quarter 1919
ROBINSON, , Axbridge, 5c 588. Mother's maiden name: Gerard
- He had a middle initial - very useful with such a common surname.
Marriages
No marriages of a J ROBINSON (with or without middle initial V) to HALL in either 1940, 1941 or 1942 (The BBC article said he married Ethel M Hall 4 years after joing up in 1937). However......
Mariages Ref: **** Quarter 1941
ROBINSON, J V,
HALES,
Off to look for births for ROBINSON with mother's maiden name HALES in 1941 - 1943.
Al
p.s. I've just edited this post as some of the information is likely to be about someone still alive and to post in full would be an invasion of their privacy.

Good idea, Alcrighton, by the way where are you getting the information from?

Well done Al - keep going!
Remember that forces personnel and their families are/ were often shunted about as per operational requirements, so you may still be right.
