Royal Air Force Bomber Command Losses of the Second World War by WR Chorley will have full details. I'm afraid I only have the 1939 - 1940 volume. Might even be on the internet.

You might like to look at this reference MZ339 (which I think it might be that one) as a starter

I do have the Chorley books including 1945 so will have a look for you.

Hi
Have found an Albert George Scarff on the Commonwealth War Graves site for the right date:
http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/2100928/SCARFF,%20ALBERT%20GEORGE
Is it possible it could be him as it is the right squadron
More here
