Daz, no luck on your aircrew questions above (still looking)…..but while searching found a few other Canadian’s in 78 Squadron. You may have all this info but thought I would post it to you anyway

Re: Help identifying RCAF Aircrew
Many thanks for posting I didn't have the press cuttings for Mulligan. He was lost after they were forced to ditch in the North Sea on return from MAGDEBURG on 21/22 January 1944.They had bombed the target but were attacked by multiple enemy fighters on the return journey and No2 and No4 fuel tanks were holed. There were only two survivors, the Bomb Aimer and the Mid Upper Gunner, who were picked up by a patrolling destroyer.
Regards
Daz
