I have some information on this pilot and I am quite keen to locate any surviving family. My father in law was one of the first on the scene at this crash. My email is nzwibbly@gmail.com. (Rachel Posa)

Hi Rachel.
The pilot was Wallace Victor WHITTAKER and his RAF Serial Number was 147755.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has this entry:
Son of Victor and Agnes Whittaker, of Whitefield, Lancashire
That might be a good place to start looking for family members.
Regards,
Kevin
