Liberator FL954

[carlstavros]

Hello all,

I am trying to find out more about the Liberator V FL954 that crashed into Lough Foyle on the 24th October 1943 as my uncles father was one of the English aircrew that was sadly killed. He was an air gunner/wireless operator aboard the aircraft that took off from Ballykenny, Northern Ireland on I believe an anti-submarine mission.

Internet searches have led me here and a couple of years ago there was a post that stated that some off the crew were Canadian. Please can anyone help with the names of the rest of the airman that lost their lives and any other information regarding the crash? I am doing this research on behalf of my uncle so any assistance would be much appreciated.

My uncles fathers name is:

W/O Francis William Hutchinson RAFVR (86 Sqn)

Many thanks in advance,

Carl.
