Re: Flt/Lt David Lord - 271 Sqn 18 Sept 44
The book called The Royal Air Force at Arnhem - Glider and re-supply missions in September 1944 published by The Society of Friends of the Airborne Museum Oosterbeek in 2005, gives the time of take off for F/Lt DSA Lord on 18th Sept as 11.17 hrs and return as 17.16 hrs in KG374.
This book is without doubt a very well researched and handy reference book by Luuk Buist, Philip Reinders and Geert Maassen (Its a 200 page hardback) ISBN-10:9080457132.
Obviously the above is the flight he made the day before his death and posthumous award of the VC
