One crew member survived the collision between a Mosquito and the Halifax.
He was Paul Carey’s grandfather.
Paul left a comment last time about his grandfather who came out alive. He wrote me a personal message.
Richard Koval had these information on his Website.
P/O A. Temple RCAF and crew, flying Halifax III MZ-482 coded KW-G, collided with a Mosquito from 515 Squadron and crashed in Belgium March 18, 1945. The only survivors were F/Sgt B. Balyx and Eddie Edwards. Edwards didn’t fly that day, probably replaced by F/O G. Le Jambe RCAF
, who was also killed.
Back L to R:
P/O A. Temple RCAF,
F/O Rick Irwin RCAF,
P/O J. Wilson RCAF,
P/O L. (Streak) Hinch RCAF.
Front L to R:
Eddie Edwards RCAF,

and F/Sgt B. Balyx RCAF.
What about the crew of the Mosquito?
I did a little research on that.
