224630 Flt.Sgt. Charles Frank Trott Royal Air Force 115 Sqdn. from:Bermondsey, London My father Charles Trott served with 115 squadron as a flight engineer under pilot officer Plum. He was shot down by a JU 88 on a mine-laying mission to La Rochelle in 1942. He had volunteered for this mission because the regular flight engineer had been classified lmf (lack of moral fibre). He evaded capture and returned to the UK six months later with the assistance of the French resistance. The pilot of the aircraft on the night my father was shot down is buried in the churchyard at Ingrandes sur mer, France. Full details can be obtained in the records of the RAF escaping society.
I have a photograph of him in uniform and also details of the German ace who shot him down.
