On 6th December 1944 two Lancasters of 61 Sqdn were lost on an operation to Giessen. LL777 - crew - Sgt E. Ashworth was killed by a night fighter, Sgt G.F. Cartwright was killed when the aircraft crashed, not obeying the order to bale out ? The rest of the crew, F/O I.H. Byers, F/O W.R.R. Neave, F/Sgt H.P.L. Hardy, Sgt T.V. Morris and Sgt R.B. Harsley baled out and became POWs when the aircraft crashed landed on an airfield in Belgium.
