Re: Collisions with balloons at Crewe 20/3/43

Brian,

l think it should be pointed out, that the (screened) pilot of No.27 OTU Wellington III X3547, AUS402813 F/Sgt Leonard David WATSON RAAF, also lost two brothers in RAAF service, namely:

AUS420328 F/O (Pilot) Maxwell Thomas Lockwood WATSON RAAF, 22/23-9-1943 No.460 Sqn RAAF, Lancaster III JA859 (on his 1st op.).

and...

AUS420314 P/O (Pilot) Malcolm Douglas WATSON RAAF,
18/19-3-1944 No.466 Sqn RAAF, Halifax III LV827.

Col.
