On Sunday, 07 May 1944, (a part of) the aircraft of the 44 squadron (RCAF), took off for a mission to Salbris in France from a station (airfield) in or near Dunholme Lodge.
One of the crew members was Flying Officer G K Willis RCAF. He departed for his mission at 21:46.
He flew with a Avro Lancaster (type III, with serial ND741 and code KM-K). His mission and of the other crew members was planned for Monday, 08 May 1944.

Rob Cornelius (my cousin and his mother Lorna Willis Cornelius who saved the photos) would like you to post them to your site.  One is of (I believe) the 44th squadron and Uncle Keith is third from the left front row. The other one is of him in uniform.
