Lancaster HK568 75NZ Squadron

This aircraft is listed as a kill of Helmut Lent. The location and time differ from other sources, any detail welcome. The Flight Engineer Bernard Leighton, was my father.

Also any personal details of the (Whitehouse) crew or the previous (Moriarty) crew, would be welcome.

My purpose is to launch a web memorial.

Errol W Martyn, who wrote "For Your Tomorrow -A Record of New Zealanders who died while serving with the RNZAF and Allied Air Services since 1915 " is a member, and an expert on the NZ squadrons.

I'm sure he'll be a great source of information.
