Flt.Sgt. John Alan Stace
Royal Air Force 111th Sqd.
from:56 Coverdale Road, Sheldon, Birmingham
My Dad, John Stace, served in the RAF Bomber Command on Lancasters. I believe his crew were:
Johnny Brown Pilot Flight Engineer
John Stace Wireless Operator
Peter Bishop Mid Air Gunner
Gordon Cox Rear Gunner
Nobby Clark Observer or Bomb Aimer Hadfield
Dad joined the RAF in 1942 from school having been an Air Cadet. He left in 1946.
The only time he crashed was not whilst with his own crew but with another crew in 1946 he survived but the pilot died. I believe he was at Eastchurch and Feltwell amongst other bases. He flew with 115 Sqadron and also 44 Squadron. He was at Cranwell and also Scampton
I would love to know more about his life as sadly he died in 1977 so I didn't get time to ask him.
