207961 Sgt. Percy Addison Royal Air Force 40 Sqn from:Newcastle-upon-Tyne Percy was the only surviving crew member of Wellington bomber R1167 from 40 Sqn RAF that was lost on a raid over Hannover on 15/16 May 1941. He was captured by German officers and spent the rest of the war in POW camps. After his return to the UK, he married his sweetheart, Barbara with whom he lived, in the north east until, his death in 2006. My great uncle Percy left behind an interesting collection of books, photos and correspondence from the war years.
