Hello Alan,

This may help with the RAAF member of this crew. His father's name was Richard Cantwell and he passed away in Maroubra, NSW on 18 March 1951. He was 73. His mother, Louisa May, passed in Gulgong NSW 26 July 1968.

Three sons are named, one being your subject. Charles Power Cantwell, retired Police Superintendent of Kurrajong, passed away 26 April 1989, aged 76. There are living people in his obituary.

His last brother was John, who went by Jack. There is an obituary from 2010 but I do not have access to the Age for that year.
