Extra Information:
Flying with 207 Sqn, they took of at 2236hrs on the 22nd from R.A.F.
Spilsby, Lincolnshire, in a Lancaster Mk.III, No. ND871 EM-G on a bombing
operation to Braunschweig.    They were shot down by a night-fighter at
1500hrs at Nortrup, 9 km SW of Quackenbrück.    The only NZ became a POW,
but the other 6 died in the crash and are all buried in the Reichswald
Forest Cem.

The loss card shows that the pilot was on his second tour of operations and
it is thought likely that most of his crew were also.
