Shirley, Sgt W.J. Douglas, Sgt W.A. Robinson, Sgt J.J. Wemyss, Sgt P. Fox, Sgt D.M. Gray, Sgt P.J. Cook, F/Sgt A.P. Price and Sgt J.H. Bambridge (RCAF). All the crew were lost with the aircraft. F/Sgt Price was an Instrument Mechanic.

******
TOS 21.8.45 in the RCAF; stored at Trenton (1945-50); converted to Mk.10MR by DeHav.Canada; issued to #405(MR) at Greenwood as VC-AGJ; suffered a heavy landing on 15.1.52; repaired with parts of KB895; reissued to #107(RU) as code VC-AGS code 'CX213' at R.C.A.F.Stn. Torbay, Nfld. (Aug.1959-Aug.61); During its service it had an incident occur on 10.10.54 under the command of F/O J.K.Vincer; aircraft was to drop plasma on vessel at night; although the plasma wasn't recovered the parachute marine marker hit the deck of the ship; an extraordinary feat. The next day another drop was successful in that the plasma was recovered from the sea by lifeboat; SOC 30.6.64; put into storage at Dunnville; sold to R.C. Legion in Goderich, Ont. for the sum of $1200; after the necessary funds were raised was raised on three pylons without structural alterations; After many years in the open air was sold to Canadian Warplane Heritage, Mt.Hope, Ont.; Tranported by #450(Hel) Squadron to Hamilton Int. Airport on 5.11.79; except for minor restoration didn't get to the major job of making it airworthy until 1983 (see 'Mynarski Lanc.' by Bette Page); First flown again on 11.9.88 in wartime colours and marked as 'KB726' as a memorial to P/O A.Mynarski V.C. Since that time has made numerous appearances at airports across Canada North America and is the only airworthy Lancaster on this side of the Atlantic. It is currently registered as C-GVRA.
