Alfred William Lapthorn
Royal Air Force 582 Squadron
from:Salcombe, Devon
My father Bill Lapthorn rarely talked about his wartime experiences when I was a child. Only much later did I realise how much danger he was in on each and every mission flying Lancasters over Germany. He talked fondly of aircrew colleagues, many of them Canadians such as Tiny Beasley. I have attached some extracts from his Flight Logbook detailing the 13 ops he took part in, including being shot at over Germany and limping back to crash land at Manston in Kent.
