109 Squadron - 5 Oct 1944 - crew Russell/Barker

[HMS1983]

Dave

Thanks for this info.

In Michael Cumming's book "Beam Bombers" the same crew is mentioned once (p.126) : In the night of 27/28 June 1944 they were twice intercepted by an enemy nightfighter. The Mosquito made it back to Manston where it burned out in a crashlanding with Russell and Barker both being admitted to the station sick quarters with burns.

Do you know how many aircraft of 109 Sqn attacked Heilbronn ? What I read as 'Lisson West' might mean something different entirely : "Mosquito - Lisson W 6 a/c on Target"

Thanks again

Hendrik
