213702 Douglas Marwood Royal Air Force 227 Sqd. My late father Douglas Marwood was a crew member of stricken a RAF Lancaster bomber PB649.K that crash landed at Wick early in the morning of 22nd December 1944. The aircraft was badly damaged and losing fuel after a raid on Politz. The aircraft was based at RAF Balderton, Nottingham and belonged to 227 Squadron. The aircraft was guided back to Wick by a Scottish female controller and the plane landed, narrowly missing a torpedo dump. The aircraft was a write-off with no fatalities. The crew spent 5 days at Wick and had a very enjoyable Christmas. In the words of a New Zealander pilot Mervyn Croker: "we were treated at a bit of a novelty at Wick and thoroughly spoilt". I wonder has anyone any information about these unexpected Christmas guests? The crew consisted of: Flying Officer M.R. Croker (NZ426913) Sgt. V Mitchell Flying Officer S.J. Pirt Flight Sgt. D Marwood Warrant Officer W.A. Henshaw (NZ181638) SGT. J.P. Wilcox Sgt. W.J Williams Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
