My father was a navigator in an Avro Lancaster that took part in this raid.
622 squadron A/C R. The pilot was P/O Fox.
I have the navigator's map and all the in-flight observations on the original form.
I also have the same paperwork for approximately 30 other missions.
My father's name was Joseph Taylor.

No.622 Squadron RAF of No.3 Group was a new unit established at RAF Mildenhall, Suffolk, on the 10th August 1943 out of a cadre from ‘C’ Flight No.XV Squadron and equipped initially with Stirling III bombers. Its Commanding Officer was Wing Commander G.H.N. Gibson, who should not be confused with his more illustrious namesake, Guy Gibson of Dambusters fame. The Squadron lost 51 aircraft during the war and one of its Lancasters LL885 ‘GI-J’ famously completed 114 operations (one of only thirty-five RAF Lancasters that survived over one hundred operations).
