Hello again
We wait weeks for some further information and then get great news from Martha and also further information found from McGills.
Details received are as follows was that they had been in contact with the sole surviving sister of William Allison and was planning to pay her a visit in the near future. They have found out that she is able to identify all the men in the photograph of the crew and apparently has a copy of it with the names and addresses on the back.
She also confirms that Charles Hamel was the pilot (he had two younger brothers in Montreal who the Allison family used to be in contact with – their names were Louis and Roger). The Allisons also became friends with Charles Hamel’s mother. We also have confirmation that Bill Allison was the bombardier on the fatal flight.
Amazing...we wait weeks for a lead and then two in 24 hours! Will keep you posted if I have further information.
