Sgt. Jeffrey Mason

Royal Air Force 102 Squadron

from:Plymouth, Devon

Sergeant Jeff Mason was bomb aimer in Halifax HK173 DY-N, based at Pocklington. His thirteenth raid became unlucky when his plane was shot down over Lichtenhorst whilst returning home after a raid on Hannover. Three of the crew sadly died, Flight Sergeant R Ellis, Sergeant T G Palgrave and Sgt. S Williams.

Sergeant Mason baled out through the bomb bay doors, having previously dropped his bombs and survived to be taken prisoner, spending 2 years in Stalag 4b for the remainder of the hostilities.

Freed by the Russians at the end of the war he subsequently became a Baptist Minister at Calstock & Metherill, later Bristol, Coseley (West Midlands), Arnold (Nottingham), Heanor & Ripley (Derbys) and Redditch. He retired to Devon with his wife and passed away in 2002.
