Turin Raid 12-13 July 1943
At 0700hrs on 13 July 1943, Lancaster EE183 of 100 Sqn flown by Flt Sgt Tony Sadler crash-landed at Brest-Guipavas after being badly damaged by Fw 190s of 1./128 and 8./JG 2. Have photos emerged of this crash-landed Lancaster? Also, 14 Lancasters were lost during this raid, two of them coming down in Switzerland and also saw the death of Wg Cdr John Nettleton VC of 44 Sqn. Has this raid even been researched?
