Jim Greenhalgh]]> IBCC Digital Archive]]> Julie Williams]]> Maureen Clarke]]> Pending review]]> eng]]> Sound]]> Civilian]]> Great Britain]]> England--Lincolnshire]]> 1940]]> 1945]]> Dave describes how the station commander took their training flight to Freiburg where they were hit by flak from the American sector.
Dave discusses his role as rear gunner, the temperatures, guns and bullets. He explains why they removed the perspex in his turret. He notes how he avoided other aircraft in the stream and the faster Me 262 German fighters. He comments on the danger of “Schräge Musik” and how it was countered. He also describes the sounds and smells of enemy fire.
Their aircraft was damaged by a Ju 88 on their way to Stuttgart but Dave shot it down. In January 1945, when there was thick cloud on their way to Munich, another Lancaster hit them and exploded. Their aircraft had significant damage and had to land at RAF Manston. Their starboard engines were also hit after reaching the target in Bremen.
Dave outlines the crew’s positive attitude and how Lack of Moral Fibre would be a difficult thing to admit to the commanding officer.
