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.

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?

I am looking for information about Flying Officer Henry Mordue who was shot down on a mission over France on the 30th September 1943. He was from South Shields.
Many thanks
