Sgt. Norman Alexander Shepherd
Royal Air Force 149 (East India) Squadron
from:Aberdeen, Scotland
Norman Shepherd was a tail-gunner and flew Lancasters in Italy returning POWs. He once heard that the Lanc's guns were being replaced by a new weapon and asked if that was true. He was answered that that information was highly classified and could not be released. The following week, a newspaper item reported that local Boy Scouts had seen the new weapon slotted for the Lancaster.
