P/O Guilyn Penry "Ginger" Guy
57 Sqdn. Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve
from:Penclawdd, Glamorgan.
Our Welsh hero, P/O Penry Guy and his crew took off on 21st June 1944 from East-Kirkby with his Lancaster LM580 DX-L to bomb the Wesseling synthetic oil refinery.
On his way to Wesseling in Germany his Lancaster was hit above Eindhoven in the Netherlands and crashed a few hundred yards from our railway station in As, Belgium.
In 2014, 70 years to the day, we unveiled a beautiful monument with parts of the Lancaster incorporated into it honouring the crew of Lancaster LM580 DX-L, especially P/O Penry Guy who saved his crew and was killed. He is buried in our community cemetery.
