My uncle, Sgt Anthony John Browne 643058 (Newmarket Cemetery) was killed on 6 January 1942 when a Wellington bomber from RAF Stradishall, No 3 Group Training Flight piloted by Flight Sergeant Frederick Thomas Miniken 903047 (Clacton Cemetery) crashed shortly after take off. Would anyone have any idea of the squadron markings as I am building a replica model?
Others killed were
Sergeant John Philpin Williams 983072 (Uzmaston (St. Ismael) Churchyard)
C J Cornes
Sergeant Herbert Wolstenholm 545778 (Hucknall Cemetery)
Sergeant Albert David Matthews 615644 (Yeovil Cemetery)
Sergeant Reginald Alfred Butcher 1200354 (Dover (St. Mary's) New Cemetery)

Any other information of the event or of my uncle would be most welcome. God Bless them all.
