Lancaster 1 ME595 QR-Y 61Sqn.
Has anybody anymore information about the 2 aircrew shown at Hannover War Cemetery. The 'only’ crew members to fall to flak on the Braunschweig raid on 14/15.10.44. Apparently 2 boys 'stole’ the bombaimers compass and goggles after she crashed and these after so many years landed up at eBay in 2015. I found out that Sgt. Webb, after bailing out was murdered after capture. Age? Etc. The perpetrators were subsequently tried and hanged in Hameln in 1947. Does anyone know if the plane has since been dug up as it landed in a swamp. My interests are that I live in Braunschweig and my home town was near to the Lincolnshire bases.
