Good day Ladies and Gentlemen
my uncle Flt/Lt Leslie Brown who was a Flt/Sgt WOP with 576 Sqn at RAF Fiskerton flew his first operation with the Sqn on this lancaster
(GelsenKirchen 29 Dec 1944) and two more operations (Osterfeld 31 dec 1944) his third operation being Munich 7 jan 1945 (this was the lancasters 44 th op)
this lancaster PD309 W-2 as detailed was abandoned over belgium after recieving battle damage the crew were reported to have have had an air battle with an ME262 and may have downed one
this being its 47 operation
