I have been scouring the interwebnet for online material about the aircrew who took part in the Dams Raid for a project I will be unveiling shortly, but in the meantime, I thought I would share the fruits of part of my research. So far, I have come across these online postwar obituaries:
Ken Brown
George Chalmers
Edward (Johnnie) Johnson
David Rodger
Danny Walker
Thanks to a helpful library subscription, I have also come across four other earlier obituaries which are not generally available in online sources, but can be turned up in newspaper archives. These are of:
Basil Feneron
Harold (Mick) Martin
David Shannon
Paul Brickhill
(I know the last of these did not take part in the Dams Raid himself, but I thought his obituary might be of interest.) I have posted these four obituaries on my other website, and you can see them here.
If you can add any further online or offline material to these links then I would be glad to hear from you.

This link with reference to the death of Dambuster veteran Arthur Kell may be of some interest.
Thank you for this. Are you related to Arthur Kell? — Charles Foster
That is a good question and something I am interested in investigating. It is a question that has been in the back of my mind for some years since first reading Paul Brickhill’s book.
