198 Sqn 20 Sep 43
On this date, Flt Sgt R F Broad was shot down and killed near Vladslo and Flt Lt A Houston shot down and captured east of Dixmude. Cause is said to be Flak but can anyone confirm this and give more accurate locations? Broad is buried at Vladslo and I visited his grave over the weekend
