Re: Lt F Jespersen 97 Sqn

Google (which I know can't always be trusted)

offers up

JESPERSEN, Finn Varde - Lt N1205. 6/6/44. Norway



http://www.97squadronassociation.co.uk/losses.html

"Two of our crews failed to return. One was captained by the Squadron Commander, W/Cdr E.J.Carter DFC who was flying in “Z” and the other was a Norwegian crew captained by Lt. Jespersen. W/Cdr Carter had with him S/Ldr M.Bryan-Smith DFC, Gunnery Leader and F/L A.Chambers DFC, the Signals Leader. It is believed that they encountered some JU88s."

So maybe no burial

L***B*****s offers up ND815 OF-G

Crashed at Osmanville in the department of Calvados, 2 km NE of Isigny-sur-Mer. It is likely that burials took place at Osmanville (St-Clement) Churchyard, where Sgt Ashpole is still buried. P/O McCutcheon RCAF, has been subsequently re- interred in the Bayeux War cemetery, while the RNAF Crew members have been taken to Holland. Lt F.V Jespersen RNAF KIA Sgt G.J.J.Ashpole KIA Sgt C.A.Munster RNAF KIA Sgt K.B.Magnus RNAF KIA Sgt K.Pedersen RNAF KIA P/O W.r.McCutcheon RCAF KIA Sgt J.E.H.Evensen RNAF KIA "

I know it says Holland - But with names like Magnus and Evensen they have to be Norwegian


Confirmed Norwegian and name Finn Varde
