Re: 61 sqdn lancaster ND988 QR-E out of Skellingthorpe sgt H lea

The following link http://www.bomberhistory.co.uk/Canal...ampbell_I.html may be of interest. It shows the Headstone of F/O I.M. Campbell Service No. 426213.

F/O Ian Melville Campbell . RNZAF 61 Squadron (d.23rd September 1944)
My great uncle flew a Lancaster with 61 Squadron and was killed on the 23rd of September 1944. I'm trying to find information on the only survivor, Sgt H. Lea who was put into Stalag Luft 7. I'd like to know if he is still alive. > > The crew were:
· F/O Ian Melville Campbell RNZAF 426213
· Sgt John Norman Hoad 1175274 23/09/1944
· Sgt R.D. Cole
· F/S M.J. Milne RNZAF
· Sgt John McCabe 1348047 RAF Volunteer Reserve
· Flt/Sgt Samuel Vernon Wickland 640170
· Sgt H. Lea > > Lancaster ED470 took off at 19:07 23rd Sep 1944 to bomb the Dortmund-Ems Canal at Ladbergen near Munster. It crashed at 23:30 at Wechte, 3km from Tecklenburg. Those killed are now buried in the Reichswald Forest War cemetery.

NOTE: The above link gives a name & email address of person making this enquiries. Not sure if it is you.

Kind regards
