Re: 102 Squadron ORBs
Nick,
Not the first time this crew had to "Hit the Silk".
You might find the following of interest:
8-9 June 1944
No.102 Sqn.
Halifax III MZ659 - DY-T
Op:Alencon
Took off 2233 Pocklington to attack communications. On return, ran low on fuel and at 0512 the crew baled out near Carnaby airfield, Yorkshire. No injuries reported.
P/O S W Sambell RAAF
Sgt J M Craig
Sgt A L Curphey
F/S J m Beecroft RAAF
Sgt C h Kidds
Sgt A A Aylmer
Sgt S M Magill
See: BCL5/267
Sambell and Beecroft are not identified as RAAF by Bill Chorley. Both of these airmen became members of the Caterpillar Club as a result of this incident.
Col.
