222985 Sgt. Lennaert Waern DFM. Royal Air Force 103 Squadron Lennaert Frederick Waern, born 1915 in Maidstone (not Dutch as widely thought but of Swedish parents). I have no details except that he was already in the 103rd Squadron at the beginning of the war and was involved in the decimation in 1940, when the French let us down. Freddy Waern was shot down in his Fairy Battle and escaped back to his squadron. He had a distinguished career as a Navigator with two known crashes in Wellingtons, both with the same crew, were in Abergavenny in Wales Jan 1941 and with the same crew ditched on the way back from Germany. He was posted to Canada to train aircrew and settled there after the war. I hope his family will complete the story.
