Avro Lancaster III JA910 29 September 1943 Raalte
Hello
I would welcome any information (particularly regarding crew members) about this flight. I believe, as a member of 57 Squadron, it crashed on the evening of 29 September 1943 near Raalte in Holland. My particular concern relates to Flight Sergeant Leslie Ramsden Barker (Air Gunner) who, I am led to believe, survived the crash and was subsequently a POW. I am now aware that Flight Sergeant LR Barker was not a member of this crew. I will submit a further thread relating to the new information. Sorry to confuse.
