Sgt. Wilfred Worthington

Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 106 Squadron

from:Gorton, Manchester

(d.9th July 1943)

I was 12 years old when I heard that my Uncle Wilfred Worthington was missing and presumed dead. What I understand was, that the Lancaster was on fire, and the Canadian pilot was trying to return to base. I believe but, not certain, that 2 or 3 of the crew managed to bail out at a low altitude. My Uncle Wilfred was on the radio, the aircraft then blew up with full bomb load and nothing was found of the rest of the crew or aircraft.

I have tried to find out the facts of that mission, if anyone can help it would be appreciated.
