Thanks "AL90" for confirmation COCKBURN and MORRIS on Sunderland W3976.

I was concerned that posting this next batch of answers from the F1180s would have put Henk under too much pressure to update after his request to remove his user name.

I now post them to contine his legacy on RAF Commands.

F1180 confims Hoare and Harris as both fatalities on Oxford W6547
