Andrew Behan has kindly carried out some research on this man and found the photo:
Sergeant Frederick Charles Moran.  He was born in 1925 and his birth was registered in Hendon. He was the son of George Edward and Eliza Moran and they lived in Ruislip Manor, Middlesex. He was appointed as a Postman in the East Central District of the London Postal Region in January 1942 and was promoted to the grade of Sorter in September 1943. He joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve and as a Wireless Operator was attached to No.19 Operational Training Unit. On 30 August 1944, aged 19 years, he was aboard AD712, a Whitley MkV bomber, which took off from Kinloss, Scotland at 09.33 hours for a navigational detail. It dived out of the clouds and disintegrated at 11.06 hours, burning debris being scattered east of Stirling. All six men aboard were killed. He is buried in Section H, Grave 29, in the Northwood Cemetery, Chestnut Avenue, Northwood, Middlesex.
