Re: 35th RAF Squadron ?
Firstly, Should read; No.35 Squadron RAF, not 35th RAF Sqn.
Please pass on the following information:
18 May 1945
No.35 Sqn RAF
Lancaster III PB684:TL-B
Training.
Overshot the runway at Graveley and crash-landed 1333, losing its undercarriage in the process. No injuries reported.
1394251 F/Sgt (Pilot) William Norman MERCER RAFVR (later 197711. F/O).
BCL6/175
There is no suggestion here that the aircraft depicted in the photograph is PB684 - OK.
Col.
