Trying to ID a Wellington Pilot

[Charles Smith]

Hi,

No.38 Squadron, trying to I.D a Sgt Lupton. The Squadron Appendices record a Sgt F Lupton 664028. I have checked the Air 87 and there is a Fred Lupton 664028. But I cannot find him in the LG. There seems some confusion with a P/O C.P Lupton KIA with 115 Sqdn, November 16th 1940. Two publications have suggest they are the same man.

Can anyone help with this.

TIA

Hi Chaz, what about a typo in the Squadron Appendices?
