Pilot P/O E.L.Houghton

[jni]

Hello all,
I'm looking for information on P/O E.L.Houghton (402187 RNZAF).
To my knowledge he was the Pilot of Hampden AE433 'EQ-D' of the Canadian 408 "Goose" RCAF Squadron.
For more info have a look in my Allied Aircraft Crashes Database
Any information, also on the other crew members, is highly appreciated.
