Sgt. Alfred Cuthbertson

Royal Air Force 77 Sqd

(d.4th July 1943)

Halifax 2 JB856 of 77 sqd. was guided down by lady R/T operator on 4th July 1943 early in morning 04.15 hrs and landed at RAF Benson. Sgt Alfred Cuthbertson, upper gunner lost his life as well as Sgt. C.McKenzie Goudy rear gunner. The W/op was also seriously injured. They had returned from a raid on Cologne. The aircraft appears to have been finally lost in October of that year. I believe I have notes made at the time by R/T and was flying on 3 engines. She calls for an ambulance and the M.O.

I would like to know who was the Pilot and rest of crew? I hope they survived. Can anyone throw any more light on the this unfortunate landing.
