Mon and Mary [Bank Note] [Post Office crest] POST OFFICE TELEGRAM [Post Mark] 12.40 Yardley 20 Mr & Mrs Allen Ermin Lodge Stilton Wishing you Happiness and best of luck. Mr & Mrs Dale & Pamela Saved Trapped Gunner Heroism in Blazing Bomber An R.A.F.V.R. sergeant who freed a comrade trapped in the rear gunner’s turret while their blazing aircraft was falling rapidly, and jumped to safety just as the plane broke in toe, has been awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal. He is Sergt, Derrick John Allen, whose home is near Peterborough. Allen was the mid-upper gunner in an aircraft detailed to attack Dusseldorf. The plane was struck by a burst of machine-gun fire from an enemy aircraft and one of the engines caught fire. The crew struggled to put out the flames, but the plane lost height and dived out of control. As the position had become hopeless, the captain ordered his crew to abandon the aircraft. The rear gunner was unable to open his turret doors and Allen ignoring the danger, hacked away at the turret doors with an axe and freed the gunner. Just as Allen got ready to jump the plane broke in two, but he managed to make a safe descent.
