Tracking down an ancestor in the same squadron I came across this:

467 RAAF is very well known and remembered out here.

My ancestor was John Graydon Simpson DFC RAFVR.

From the London Gazette we have:

28 June 1943: 926079 Sergeant John Graydon Simpson promoted to probationary Pilot Officer (149147).

Feb 1944: Distinguished Flying Cross awarded to Flying Officer John Graydon Simpson (149147), Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 467 (R.A.A.F) Squadron


I presume that as he had a DFC he was a pilot, and that as 467 flew Lancs at the time he was a Lancaster pilot, but stand to be corrected.

If anyone knows any more about him I'd be very grateful for any info
