Tour List for F/O McCann
Ops listing for both 550 Sqdn and 102 Sqdn operational tours, as well as training details Source: Steve McCann (son of F/O McCann (W/Op)) |
F/O Lynch (R/AG) was credited with an enemy aircraft destroyed on his first sortie with 102 Sqdn, and was awarded DFM on completion of his tour with 102 Sqdn. So it is possible that this whole crew was together in 102 Sqdn (flying Halifaxs) although this is not confirmed.
