Rees Feb 25, 1945. It crashed that day, close to the Dutch town of Drongelen, near the river Bergsche Maas. The bodies of the 3 crewmen were only found in June 1945 because at the time of the crash, that particular area was part of the frontline and thus everybody was evacuated.

The crew were:
F/O L.T. Trap (navigator)
W/O K.J. Clarke (gunner)
F/O D. Fenner (pilot)

Their bodies were first buried at Drongelen. Later they were re-buried at the allied cemetery "Donkerbos" near the town of Nijmegen. I do not know if there were any more crewmen at the time of the crash.
