Fred Hooper was my brother-in-law. He married a Land Army girl in Sheffield later moved to Skegness, Lincs. Fred was a Rear Gunner on a Lancaster and took part in the bombing of the Turiptz. Fred would sometimes spend up to 10 hours in the rear gunner position. On the 12th Nov 1944 British Lancasters equipped with 12000 tall boy bombs destroyed the Terpitz. The attack was by RAF operating from Yagodnik near Archangel in Rushia. No. 9 and 617 Squadrons took part.
