Month (25th) Oct 1943 and Brest/ airfield Lanveoc Poulmic.

My name is Everard Bakker and I am from Holland. Since 2001 I am writing the life-story of a airgunner of the Dutch 320 Squadron RAF.
This veteran is 88 years old and living in the house for Dutch veterans called Bronbeek in Arnhem.

In the month October 1943 the 2nd TAF (with the Mitchells B-25) made a several raids on the airfield Lanveoc Poulmic (Brest). On the 25th Oct 1943 there was a raid of the Dutch 320 and the Br. 98th Squadron RAF.

I am very interested about information of the raid on 25th Oct 1943. This date one Dutch Mitchell exploded in the sky and another one made a ditch in the sea. Five Dutchmen killed that day. One of those men is still missing.
His name is Flying Officer C.J. Bank born 27-08-1943 killed 25-10-1943. Do you have information about the Flying Officer?
Are there monuments around Brest?

I am also very interested what has happened of the airfield Lanveoc Poulmic on that 25th Oct 1943.
I heard that day a lot of high level German officers were on the base. Is that true?

Three survivors of the ditched Dutch Mitchell escaped with a French Fisherboat. After the arrival in the harbour all of them were captured by the Germans. Does somebody know what has happened with the Fishermen?

Is there a picture of the airfield of Lanveoc Poulmic?

Could you help me with information about what has happened on the 25th Oct 1943 on the airfield Lanveoc Poulmic?

In May this year I would like to visit Lanveoc Poulmic Brest.

With kind regards,

Everard Bakker
Holland
