Hello Mack: My stepmother has a lot of pictures in her possesion of the crew and the plane but because she never came into our lives until 1965 she can not put names to the faces. The name Eddy Baresby comes to my memory and also a first name,Mark. As to those gifts,there are a couple of aerial photos of them being delivered in his photo album. Thank you very much for your help. Regards: Margaret

Hi..I'm new to this site but i do know of someone that might have info on the 433 Porcupine crew. I went to visit the old airlfield in Skipton just last week and i met a man that was in the 433.  He lives in York, England and I believe he said he was on the Heathcote crew...sorry about the spelling.  If you wish any more info in regards to this..please feel free.  I had a uncle that served in the squadron as a Navigator but was KIA in March 44.  He was part of the Lossing crew.  Lisa V.
