Sgt. Albert Simpson

Royal Air Force 153 Squadron

from:Preston, Lancs.

(d.22th Jan 1945)

My dad, Sgt Albert Simpson 1238641, was flying as rear gunner on Lancaster PB636 of 153 Squadron. The pilot was F/Lt Alan Edger Jones. We cannot trace his family or find a photo of him. The op was a raid on a synthetic oil refinery at Duisburg. 286 Lancasters and 16 Mosquitos were involved, out of this number only two Lancasters were lost - PB636 P4D and NG185. My Dad's Lancaster was never seen or heard of again. NG185 was found crashed in Holland and their crew were buried in a war cemetery.
