Stirling 90sqn - BK779 - 23/08/1943 Berlin
Hello
I am researching my grandad during WW2. My grandad was rear gunner in a Stirling BK779 of 90sqn, which I believe was hit by flak over Berlin on the night of 23/08/1943 and then hit by a night fighter coming down in the sea, three survivors including him were picked up after 7 days north of Cuxhaven. I am interested in learning all I can but at present, does anyone have any information on the raid itself, operational plans (or where I can obtain them) or anything else that may be of interest. The crew were: Pilot - A/F Sgt Mulvey Navigator - P/O Yeo Air Bomber - P/O Sibbald Wireless - Sgt Liang Mid Gunner - Sgt Quickfall Flight Engineer - Sgt Burland Rear Gunner - Sgt Pighills Thanks Paul |
