428 Wellington(s) lost 8/9 April 1943 Duisburg ?
8/9 April 1943 Target Duisburg 428 Squadron R.C.A.F. lost probably 2 Wellingtons Mk III, DF635 (NA-I) with P/O R M BUCKHAM (RCAF), F/O N W RODIN (RCAF), P/O G C FLETCHER (RAF), Sgt J D FRASER (RCAF) and Sgt T WHITEHEAD (RAF). They were shot down near Duisburg. There was also another Wellington Mk III that possibly went lost of which Sgt Lorenzo BERTRAND (RAF 1050195) was one of the Air Gunners. His body was found near Holtwick/Haltern am See (Germany) and he was buried at a cemetery near Sythen (Ehrenfriedhof) on 9 April 1943 and later exhumed to Reichswald Forest War Cemetery. Does anyone knows in which crew and Wellington Bertrand was flying when he was killed ? Maybe his comrades didn’t crash but returned to Dalton as Chorley didn’t mention another Wellington of 428 Sq as lost for this night.
