Re: Lancaster loss ND672 22/23 March 1944
I also believe that Ofw. Rudolf Frank is the most likely match for claiming ND672 as his 37th 'abschuss'
Sgt Peter Velasco was the mid upper gunner who was thrown clear of the aircraft as it broke up he was subsequently knocked unconciouss and captured being taken to Stalag Luft I.
The aircraft was from 49 sqn and took of at 19:11 for RAF Fiskerton in Lincolnshire. The crew were on their 4th operation although two members were on their second operation and one member the navigator was on his first operation.
Hope this helps
