Geoffrey James Browning was my uncle. His usual navigator Edwin Cuningham "Andy" Andrews was in a Cairo hospital when the crash happened. I understand the Mosquito Geoff was flying was carrying some form of test ordinance. I believe our family holds the log book of both Geoff and certainly Andy - though the former may be a reconstituted one. I obviously know further details on Geoff if anyone is interested including his former school.
