Anthony de Quincey Walker

My brother Tony was the newly appointed Flight Commander of the Halifax Flight in May 1943. He was not the pilot or captain, but had decided to go on this flight as an observer - in his own words from his diary written a few hours before, "to see how they are doing things these days". The captain was Flt.Lieut. "Pop" Foster DFC., a very experienced pilot. Any information about the whereabouts of their crash would be gratefully received.
