Comment received from Michael Cumming'I write as biographer of
S/L A P Cranswick, DSO, DFC, to offer new material regarding the
circumstances in which he and all but one crew member lost their
lives on 5 July 1944. Between publication of the original
Pathfinder Cranswick (1962) and the extended and updated 50th
Anniversary Edition (2012) my continuing research showed - if you
wish to include it - that their Lancaster was shot down by a
Luftwaffe night fighter, the wreckage falling on open ground at
Villecresnes.'

Good morning Jack,
I have tried to send you a private message but it failed, Can you confirm your e mail address?
Hi ,
I just want to send you a message to amend one of the entries if possible, it is that of my Grandfather …. In the entry for 25/5/1943 F/S G fuller should read F/S M O’D Fuller ( 745940 Flt SGT Michael O’Donovan Fuller ) They were shot down over the target area, he and the rest of his fellow crew are buried in the Reichswald Forest War Cemetary.
I’d be interested of any stories around a family tale that Grandad used to play his violin in the Dispersal area at Gravely.
Great resource BTW
Best wishes
Trish
Please note for the record my father in laws surname was ARMITAGE not Armstrong as recorded 11/11/43 Halifax HR929 ditched Sardinia. Many thanks, John Place.
Noted, checked and entry amended.
My name is Leonard Healy & my brother F/S B J Healy ( please note the name is not Healey ) died 18/11/43
He died from oxygen failier returning from a raid on Manneim.
Best wishes ,Leonard.
correction to website made, thanks. webmaster.
Hi, I have been doing some family research and think there is an error above. My Grandfather John Maule (1530-13) was killed on 27th AUGUST1944 – his plane Lancaster PA 971 did not return. You have this as 27/07/1944. I have a copy of the original log book so am pretty sure I am correct.
Best wishes,
Joanne Nixon (nixon.joanne@gmail.com)
On the crash of ND762: should read the town of Eindhoven not Eindhoven. In fact the aircraft crashed just north of the small village of Vessem -that’s west of Eindhoven.
info updated, thanks. Paul
