The Callsing is incorrect. instead AA-P it should be JN-P. The Lancaster RA564 with onboard the Barr crew was part of the "C-flight" of the 75(NZ)Sqd RAF. The Call signs used by the 75(NZ)Sqd RAF were AA for the "A-flight"and "B-flight". JN was used for the "C-flight" This mistake is made very often.

I have a picture of him in uniform, and I am very proud of his service, even though he was really not healthy after having meningitis when he was 17 (1934). He was deaf in one ear, and almost blind in one

Beste Jaap, Mooi document over de oorlogsgeschiedenis van Mirns! Maar ik kan nog wat aanvullen over de steen die al jaren bij het kerkhof staat...
