My father, Claude A Horn flew with the RAF 50th Squadron during WW11 as a the wireless operator flying on the Lancaster.
ITV made a documentory for television titled " If we don't come back have a drink on us!" which aired back in the late 60"s. My father and his crew members were the story line behind the documentory.

John, I don't think our fathers flew on the same plane, but were in the same squadron. Do you know how I could get hold of one of the doumentaries?

My Father Denis R. Allen was the navigator of Lancaster LM210 from 50th Sq. He and the crew were KIA in Air Op 28/29th July 1944. Are there any existing photographs of the plane?
Thank you,
Mary Allen.
