Data derived from many sources. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary.

The few remains recovered were buried in the local cemetery at Krabbendijke	KiA	Runnymede Memorial Panel 263	Granite and Brick Memorial. The inscription in Dutch reads " Fallen for our FREEDOM 11th May 1944"	Flt Sgt (Plt Off) Marriott awarded DFM whilst with 626 Sqn. London Gazette 11th April 1944. Citation: "421742 Flight Sergeant Colin Rupert MARRIOTT, Royal New Zealand Air Force, 626 Squadron. 1853148 Sergeant John Victor BREWER, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, 626 Squadron. These airmen were captain and rear gunner respectively of an aircraft detailed to attack Frankfurt one night in March, 1944. When nearing the target area the aircraft was attacked by a fighter. Although Flight Sergeant Marriott manoeuvred with much skill and his gunners got in several bursts of fire, the bomber sustained severe, damage before the attacker could be evaded. Nevertheless, Flight Sergeant Marriott determined to complete the task for which he had been detailed went on to execute his attack, afterwards flying the badly damaged aircraft back to this country. He displayed skill, courage and resolution beyond praise; Sergeant Brewer also set a fine example. The windscreen of his turret had been shattered and he had been wounded in the foot. Although suffering severely from the cold and the lack of oxygen he insisted on remaining in his turret, fully determined to defend his aircraft at any time on the homeward flight. He displayed outstanding fortitude and great devotion to duty". Son of Rupert Vance Marriott and Jessie Marriott, of Christchurch, New Zealand.
