Lancaster W4234 DX-P

57 RAF Sqd

Tijdens de eerste winternacht (21 december) van 1942 vlogen de bommenwerpers van Bomber Command richting München. Omstreeks 23u30 ving de Freya-radar langs de kust de eerste berichten op van de aankomende formatie. Van op St.-Truiden werden 5 toestellen op goed geluk ingezet. Ook van op Laon-Athies startten de Messerschmitts van de 1.NJG 4 de motoren en verspreidden zich doorheen het Vlaamse luchtruim. Eén van de indringers was de Lancaster met rompcode DX-P,een toestel van het 57 Squadron, die nacht opgestegen in Scampton (Engeland).

Friends

 

The photos of the memorial of 1 8 /12 of Lancaster DX-P of 57 Sqd (that came down in Lierde on December 21 1942) are online  (soon on the site)

In the crash that happened 6 airmen died (1 RAAF, 5 RAF), the only survivor was the NZ tailgunner. 

We hold this memorial every year at the time and date of the crash (as good as we can)
