Re: 429 Squadron RCAF Halifax 5/6 March 1945

Graham,

From a post on this forum of 19.1.2007 this may be the Halifax:

LV996 ZL-E 427 SQUADRON
Airborne 1652 5Mar45 from Leeming. Homebound, crashed at Halling some 4 miles SW of Gillingham. Kent, after running out of fuel. All were buried in Brookwood Military Cemetery. This Chemnitz raid was part of Operation Thunderclap. F/L M.W.Sanderson RCAF KIA P/O W.R.Strand RCAF KIA P/O J.P.Nault RCAF KIA P/O H.N.Prince KIA P/O A.S.Leroux RCAF KIA F/S A.G.Caldwell RCAF KIA F/S P.F.Gonroski RCAF KIA "

It says 427 Squadron in the post, but CWGC has 429 Squadron for these Canadians, also confirmed by their website http://www.429sqn.ca/429sqnrh.htm

Regards,

Leendert
