Lancaster III PB245 PG-Z took off from Dunholme Lodge at 2258 hrs on a raid to Revigny to bomb a railway junction. The aircraft was shot down, probably by a night-fighter, crashing at Ussy-sur-Marne (Seine-et-Marne) 4 km W N W from la Ferte-sous-Jouarre.

Ned, do you require the crew list?

[Ned Wobmit]

Wow, Peter that's great thanks. If you have a crew list that would be good too.

Cheers
