Dear Franek
Thanks for your offer of help & I will be interested to hear from your friend. My father safely returned to base from the two trips to Warsaw, though with a hole in the plane.Many Liberators of 31 SAAF & RAF Sqdns were shot down over Warsaw . In 1968 I visited Warsaw but did not know then that my father took part in the airlifts . The crew, inc SS Urry & TR Millar, listed in my first notice disappeared on 12/13th October 1944 while on a supply dropping mission to Italian partisans.The drop zone was ENE of Genoa,Italy.The weather turned for the worse with poor ground visibility & strong winds .Five other Libs crashed but wreckage later found It is presumed that the KH158 went into the sea but we have no evidence of this. I just wondered if some one reading this notice might have known any of the crew during their time in Italy ? I am in contact with the nephew of the pilot [Maj SS Urry] who has a notice on this forum Anne
