Comes with “Mostly Unsung” research. BARLOW was a 20-year-old Flying Officer Pilot from Adelaide, South Australia. Upon joining RAAF heavy bomber squadron number 467, he had completed a’second dickie’ trip and then a successful bombing trip to Caen on 18th July in PB-234 before he and his mainly Australian crew, flying Lancaster LM-119, went missing on the night of 20/21 -July 1944 after successfully bombing Courtrai. All seven crew died. Mostly Unsung’ research included with the medals. A very nice active service group. VERY DIFFICULT to find KIA RAAF Aircrew, let alone pilots, especially with all stars and medals correctly impressed. There are two pictures of Barlow available on the AWM site. Not mucked around with at all. See my good feedback. Item located in East Malvern. SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS, I HAVE HATS AND WW2 AUSTRALIAN ARMY TUNICS LISTED.
