Ventura AJ478 / EG-A was the last of the group.....it crashed at 18:00, 19km's West of IJmuiden. Even though it was the last Ventura to go down, I understand it never reached the target and probably ended up near IJmuiden trying to avoid the German fighters.
crew: Pilot F/O. O.E. Foster Observer F/O. T.A. Penn Wo ag Sgt. R.W. Mann (RAAF) Air gunner Sgt. T.W.J. Warner The body of air gunner Warner washed ashore at the Afsluitdijk on June 5th 1943. He is buried at the Bergen op Zoom War Cemetery. The other 3 crewmembers were picked up by a finishing boat and were taken prisoner. https://www.verliesregister.studiegr...rea=&airfield= Alex
