    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Interview with Ian Henderson]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Ian Henderson was born in Lockerbie and studied law for two years at the University of Edinburgh before joining the Royal Air Force. He travelled to Canada onboard the RMS Mauretania to train as a pilot. After two months based near Edmonton on Oxford and Anson aircraft, Ian transferred to navigator training. He joined 153 Squadron at RAF Scampton flying Lancasters. Ian’s crew included pilot Donald Legg from South Africa, wireless operator Russel Rawlings from Canada, bomb aimer Dave Jones from Wales, upper gunner Andy Anders from England, rear gunner Jack Beat and flight engineer Jack Ross from Scotland. He recalled an operation on the Urft Dam in December 1944 where his aircraft, P–Peter, suffered an engine fire due to anti-aircraft fire and they had to carry out a forced landing in Brussels, then under Allied control. After a night spent in an ex-German army barracks his crew flew home to RAF Scampton aboard a transport aircraft. His damaged Lancaster was destroyed on the ground at Brussels in a Luftwaffe attack shortly after. Ian described using both Gee and H2S navigation aids, with Gee being jammed by the Germans for, perhaps, 50% of the duration of an operation. On the 13/14 February 1945 Ian took part in an operation on Dresden. He explained how, to the crews, it was just another operation. Crews were briefed that it was at the request of the Russians who feared German troops were amassing in the area. When they were approximately 90 miles from the target Ian recalled being told there was no need to navigate further as the fires from the burning city were clearly visible. Ian was awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal. On completion of 30 operations Ian was commissioned and transferred to Transport Command as a navigation briefing officer. Posted to Karachi, he briefed crews on known hazards they could face whilst making the journey from the Far East to Great Britain. Returning in 1946 he resumed his studies at the University of Edinburgh before joining his father’s law firm in Lockerbie.]]></dcterms:description>
