210413 Flt/Sgt. Harry Aspinall DFM Royal Air Force No.61 Squadron from:Atherton, Lancashire (d.23rd April 1944) Flt.Sgt.Harry Aspinall was my father and this year 2012 on Nov.11th I have been granted permission to take part in this years Cenotaph Ceremony in Whitehall. I shall wear my Dad's DFM with pride. He was killed 9 days after my first birthday on 23rd.April 1944. One night, in September 1943, he along with Pilot Officer Anthony Bird, Sgt.Edward James Kemish and Sgt.Bernard Kendrick while on a mission over Hanover were approaching the target when their aircraft was illuminated by searchlights and immediately attacked by 3 fighters. One engine was set on fire and rendered useless and the other sustained damage. The combined efforts of these 4 airmen resulted in the bomb being released over the target and the damaged plane being returned to base. Maybe there are relatives of some of these brave men still alive if so I would be very happy to meet them.
