I am named after my grandfather. Unfortunately my mother never knew her Dad. My grandfather was a rear gunner. He joined 101 Squadron 9/4/44. His plane Lancaster Bomber No ME619 (an ABC equipped aircraft)left Ludford Magna 22:40 22/4/44. On the return run it suffered a direct hit from German anti aircraft fire. He did not survive and is buried at the Rheiberg War cemetary with 3 other crew members.
