Sgt Hubert Stanley Mitchell
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 576 Sqn
from:Port Isaac, Cornwall
(d.24th December 1943)
I have the medals of Sgt Mitchell, including Aircrew Europe Star.
He was RAFVR, and being TA myself, I have researched his background. He was one of seven Lancasters lost between the start of 576 Squadron's operations on 2/3 November 1943 and the end of December 43.
I have visited his grave in the British War Cemetery, Berlin.
I have not been able to identify his actual Lancaster, or fellow crew members, and would ask if anyone has this knowlege.
