575 Sqn - Operation Charity 18th March 1944
During Operation Charity, on 18th March 1944 when nine Dakotas from 575 Sqn dropped paratroopers at Netheravon, one paratrooper (Lt John Williams RA) died as a result of a hang up of his parachute after being cut free over Poole Harbour.
While I have full details of the incident and a copy of the Summary of Activities / ORB for 575 Sqn from TNA there isn't any mention of the aircraft involved or the pilot's name. So would there have been an enquiry as such by the Sqn or the Army and any clues where to find the info would be gratefully received.
