I’ve noticed that whilst the IBCC entries for aircrew are great, for non aircrew they more often than not contain no details at all . I’ve been through the first 6 months of the war and of 9 such entries to 1940/04/14 Solomon , Rowe , Rule, Douglas , Green , Flynn, Prior and Hall - 8 of them have NO details of loss whatsoever

Jon, Good call out. Did a query and Thankfully I have only 146 of them present (No Aircraft Id, but an IBCC link). I had used the IBCC provided data to populate this so some may not have had the info. All the records seem to be from 1940 and 1941..

I have cleaned those out - will validate against IBCC and re-enter only those that have additional details.

Don’t want to be an arse but it did strike me ! How can you be so IT savvy ?? I used a pen and paper !

Oh some I notice DO have causes of death so you don’t want to cull any that do !!

Oh yes, i am validating them manually from bottom of the list - found two hits out of ten.. so a bulk of them will still need to be cleaned up.

Not that far ? I think I’ve given our Jagan about 3000 new entries ? But I’ve waded through about 25000 guys n gals to find ones not already accounted for
