Oblt E-G Drunkler, 12 /NJG1 Jun '43

[Frasera]

Thanx Chris,
A solid reply, as usual :-) . Understand he was a Knights Cross holder? A Photo would be great. The Stirling in question (see first post) was Stirling III BK 799, taken on-charge, 21st Apr '43. SOC 1st Jul.

OJ-O, from 149 Sqn. RNLAF-41 (37) recovery party recovered parts of this aircraft from the Ijsselmeer in April 1969.
The aircraft was on a raid to Krefeld, and was shot down by Oblt Ernst-Georg Drunkler of 12 /NJG 1 on the night of 22 June ‘43. Any idea of Aircraft type?

Crew was:
J Lowrie Pilot
J Atkinson Flt Eng
F Waite A.G.
D Fudge Wop/AG
F Hurd A.G.
A Coull Bomb Aimer

Also on board, according to records, was Flying.Officer. D.H. Lyne - (probably on a "Famil" Op?)It is interesting to note that there are no entries for Lyne in the CWGC!
Thanks again for your Sterling (sic) efforts!
Regards
Alan F
