242708 Sgt. Albert Simpson Royal Air force 153 Squadron from:Preston (d.22nd/23rd Jan 1945) My dad Albert Simpson was stationed at Scampton with 153 Squadron. He was a rear gunner. On the night of 22nd/23rd of January 1945 my dad's Lancaster took part in a raid on an oil refinery in Duisburg. Bomber Command lost two Lancasters that night one was my dad's Lancaster and the other one his pal's Lancaster both of 153 Squadron. A force of 286 Lancasters took part. My dad's Lancaster was never seen or heard of again. The other Lancaster was found crashed in Germany with all their bodies. I don't think we will ever know what happened to my dad's Lancaster that night. The aircraft numbers were PB636 my dads the NG185 code P4D.
