Hi, I'm the niece of Brian Wallis Polson, who was the pilot of the ww2 bomber which crashed near Gibraltar, on which Henry was the wireless air gunner. I've been researching into Brian's war service and have been trying to find out the names of the crew who were on the bomber when it crashed. I've now found out that there was a crew of four, Brian and Ronald Charles Rickett were Australian, Henry and Harold James Crowe who was a Canadian. I'll be thinking of them all on the 25th April which is our ANZAC
Day. Regards Lindi Kingdom
