I AM seeking relatives of Sgt John Burrow, of Blackburn, who was stationed at RAF Driffield, Yorks, with 77 Squadron, in August 1940.

Sgt Burrow was aboard a Whitley bomber which collided with a balloon cable near Southampton on August 15 1940, crashing near Eastleigh, Hants. The aircraft was returning from an operation near Bordeaux. All five of the crew, including my grandfather, Sgt C L G Hood, died and were buried at Fawley Church, Hampshire.

I have some information regarding the circumstances surrounding the crash. However, I would very much like to make contact with the relatives of the crew, in the hope of tracing further information about the crew, aircraft and any photographs which may exist of their time at Driffield.

MARK HOOD, 15 Swinburne Close, Galley Common, Nuneaton CV10 9RX.
