( click on images to enlarge) Stirling W7513 crew - Sgt. David Church on extreme left, Sgt. Patrick Torre Hunter 2nd left, Sgt. Devinder Singh Sidhu 3rd from left, centre Sgt. Keith Halliburton (the three on the right of Sgt Halliburton most probably are Air/Bmr Sgt Thomas Scarfe , Air/Gnr SgtCharles Henry George Boxall and Air/Gnr Sgt Alexander Clunie Howell


The map shows the general area where the mine laying missions were being carried out . The area marked as ''Radishes'' was the target area for 75 Sqn ( and W7513) that night.


In the next post I will show you the letter I wrote to the Air Historical Branch , Bentley Priory , Middlesex asking for details about Sgt Sidhu and how he was located.
