[underlined] Distinguished Flying Medal [/underlined]
[underlined] 104229[inserted]2[/inserted]Flight Sergeant Charles Frederick TURNER Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 186 Squadron. [/underlined]
The citation, which was not published relevant to this award, is as follows [inserted] :- [/inserted]
Flight Sergeant Turner has participated in attacks against heavily defended enemy targets. On one occasion his aircraft was badly damaged by anti-aircraft fire. Although wounded himself, this airman gave his captain every assistance in completing the mission. On another occasion his aircraft was so severely damaged that it became necessary to make forced landing in France. This the captain able to accomplish successfully largely owing to the excellent directions given him by Flight Sergeant Turner. Despite these trying experiences Flight Sergeant Turner has continued to fly on operations with undiminished enthusiasm.

No.186 SQUADRON,
ROYAL AIR FORCE STATION,
STRADISHALL,
Nr. Newmarket.
Suffolk.
186S/S.366/18/P.4.
5th April, 1945.
Dear Mrs. Turner,
It is with the greatest regret that I have to inform you that your son, Flight Sergeant Charles Frederick Turner (1042292) has been placed on the seriously ill list as a result of injuries sustained in a flying accident which occurred early this morning, on returning from an operational flight over Germany. I would, however, like to state right away, that no occasion exists for immediate anxiety and that should such occasion arise immediate notification by telegram will be sent to you.
2. Your son is in the R.A.F. Hospital at Ely and his condition is satisfactory. He sustained a broken thigh and a fractured ankle and foot, together with some minor wounds. Although he will probably be in hospital for rather a long time, it is hoped , as indeed it is at present thought, that there will be no after effects from his injuries.
3. I would like to take this opportunity of expressing my very sincere sympathy and further expressing appreciation of your son’s magnificent work with this Squadron coupled with the hope for a very speedy recovery.
Yours very sincerely,
[signature]

[Photograph of FLT. SERGT. C. F. TURNER]
Fifth Of His Crew To Be Decorated
THE D.F.M has been awarded to Flight Sergeant Charles Frederick Turner (23), R.A.F.V.R., youngest son of Mrs, F. A, Turner, of 47, Crosby Street, Derby, for “gallantry and devotion to duty in the execution of air operations against the enemy.”
Now home on sick leave following an air accident in April this year, Flt. Sgt. Turner took part in 35 operations over Germany as an air-gunner, and is the fifth member of his Lancaster to be decorated.
He received severe injuries when he was thrown from his aircraft as it was about to touch down at an aerodrome after completing his 35th operation. The Lancaster had arrived back on three engines, and during the run-in to land another one exploded.
Although due to be demobilised in the near future, Flt. Sergt. Turner is anxious to stay in the R.A.F.
He received his training in South Africa, where he stayed for two years, and returned to this country in 1943. His two brothers, George, a sapper in the Royal Engineers, and Wilfred, a lance-corporal in the R.A.S.C., are both serving in Germany.

RAF bomb-aimers were dead on target when Lancasters and Halifaxes gave Cologne its heaviest battering of the war in daylight last Saturday. Some were told to smash the big suspension bridge over the Rhine, and - as the picture shows – they did it. The great steel span has crashed into the river where it will have to be blown to pieces to clear a way for the large-scale traffic along the Rhine.
