Bill McCrea flew with 57 Sqd. during the war, his memoirs " A Chequer Board of Nights", was published several years ago, Sadly he died in February but saw the rough cut of a short film I and the Granddaughter of his mid upper gunner made of chapter 6 of his book.

The film will be ready for the Squadron centenary next year. The true accounts of one crew's tour in a Lancaster Bomber during WWII. We follow one raid, at a time when any raid could be their last. The Crew are a team interdependant, but their gunners should be even closer, why doesn't Ace like Chris?, this could spell disaster. For more information follow facebook.com/AChequerBoardofNights
