Kevin Mapley, nephew of Sgt Geoff Littlemore, notes that for the Glann crew this aircraft was affectionately known as Wilber. Sgt Geoff Littlemore of the Glann crew wrote in his logbook "21st June 1944. On this fateful day 'W' Wilber went to her last resting place in the centre of the Third Reich. Mourned by her crew who had complete and undying faith in her and her structure."
