POK's crew taken in December 1943. This photo believed to have been contributed by George Litchfield's family. George LITCHFIELD (bomb aimer) front centre. L-R Believed to be SCOTT (W/Op), BOETTCHER (rear gunner), PATKIN (pilot), CHAMBERS (Flight engineer), (Navigator) . Absent is FSGT BLACKWELL the mid upper gunner The aircraft behind them is not the one in which they were lost on 1/2 January ('PO-K'). It is 'PO-M' a unit workhorse as evidenced by the 53 missions it had flown at this time (presumed to be late 1943). 'PO-M' features in two other images; AWM UK0463.jpg which 'captured' the aircraft at an earlier point in its career, on 31 August 1943 when it had completed 40 missions and had its designation changed from 'PO-U' to 'PO-M'. Another image on the 467 Squadron page features this aircraft at the same time - 31 August 1943 with its crew.
