[inserted] FROM 19-2-1945 John was POW no. 7645 at Stalag Luft 1.
NOTES ON P.O.W. CAMP LIFE – JOHN GOLDBY
I have not recorded anything much for the months of February, March and April (1945) until the 30th of that month.
Conditions in the camp were pretty depressing, mainly because of the lack of food. There were no Red Cross parcels and for weeks on end our diet consisted of 6-8 wafer-thin slices of black bread a day, one bowl of vegetable soup and some coffee without milk or sugar. Calorific value was said to be 800 a day. The effort of climbing up to or down from the top bunks left you feeling faint.
The slices of bread were cut from part of a loaf, and we all crowded round to ensure that the slices were of a consistent thickness. Roll-call was twice a day out on parade in the compound, and frequently the guards (or goons as we called them and they often called themselves) had difficulty reconciling the numbers. It was very cold, and although we exercised by walking in the compound, we spent a lot of time trying to keep warm in our huts, passing the time reading.
Whilst on parade for roll-call we did P.T. awaiting our turn to be counted. On exercise consisted of touching our toes, then flinging our arms up high above our heads with the shout 'Come on Joe!' – 'Joe' being the Russians, personified by Uncle 'Joe' Stalin.
On 3rd. February 1945, the family received a telegram from the Air Ministry which read "3/2/45 information received through the International Red Cross Committee states that your son F/Lt. John Louis Goldby is a prisoner of war wounded in German hands". On the back of the telegram my father has written the names of friends whom he wanted to tell of my whereabouts. At the time the telegraph was received my mother was attending a concert in my old school.
On 19th February I wrote a card home which bears traces of blood. This card arrived in the UK in April 1945. John's sister was reading it standing at her kitchen window when one of the last V2 rockets fell and she was cut by flying glass. It is her blood which has stained the card.
Kriegsgefangener cards 2 & 3 arrived in UK late April 1945. Whilst he was in Germany John received no news from home, none of their letter [sic] got through.

JOHN LOUIS GOLDBY SERVICE NO. 1387511 and 139407 Version dated 21 July 2020
[inserted] Corrected August 2020 [/inserted]
John joined up on 31 May 1941 at Babbacombe in Devon. He completed ground training at the Initial Training Wing at RAF Kenley. He then went to Air Observer School at Jurby in the Isle of Man from October 1941 – May 1942. For some of his fellow volunteers it was the first time they had been in an aircraft. He completed navigation and gunnery training on Blenheim aircraft and bomb aimer training on Hampdens whilst at Jurby, using air-to-air towed targets. He gained 3 stripes as a Sergeant Observer. He then went to Stanton Harcourt (near Abingdon) to 10 Operational Training Unit in June 1942.
He became part of a crew under pilot Captain Watson RE, seconded onto Whitley aircraft in the role bomb aimer. Captain Watson was a 2nd pilot on the first 1,000 bomber raid on Cologne on 30 May 1942. The second 1,000 bomber raid targeted Essen and John flew on the third 1,000 bomber raid in a Whitley bomber to Bremen on 25 June 1942. This was a 5-hour round trip.
Bomber Command then extended the number of crew needed on 4 engined aircraft from 5 to 7 crew members, adding a bomb aimer and flight engineer.
No. 10 Operational Training Unit Detachment at St Eval was led by Wing Commander Pickard who was portrayed in the film 'F for Freddie' which detailed the raid on Amiens prison, in which Wg. Cmdr. Pickard was killed.
Twin-engined Whitley aircraft of Bomber Command were being used on anti-submarine duties because of the U-boat threat.
The unit was based at St Eval in Cornwall using black-painted Whitleys (Coastal Command aircraft were painted white). Flights involved a 10-hour flight dropping depth charges over the Bay of Biscay. It was a deafening experience as the crew had no hearing protection. The unit completed 6-8 operations.
John then moved in September 1942 to Marston Moor (Yorkshire) and completed a conversion course on to 4 engined aircraft – the Halifax 2. These were notoriously difficult to handle, with original tail fins and Rolls Royce engines.
John took part in a number of mine-laying operations off Heligoland, which counted as a 1/2 operation. These were called 'gardening' trips – planting mines at low level. On 11 December 1943 John was a crew member in a Halifax 2 aircraft of No. 78 Squadron which took off from Linton-on-Ouse with a heavy load of fuel on board, bound for Turin. An engine caught fire on take-off and the aircraft had to ditch in Filey Bay. The crew were rescued by local fishermen. By February 1943 he had completed 8 operations which was very stressful. He received news of his commission and went to London to get his uniform, but he developed a very bad throat infection and ended up in an Army hospital in York with an abscess on the carotid artery, and then had his tonsils removed. He spent his 21st. birthday in June 1943 in hospital at RAF Northallerton.
His commissioned service number was 139407. His mother came up from Sidcup for the commissioning ceremony – a very difficult journey in wartime.
John was posted as a Bombing Instructor to Moreton-in-March (Gloucester) from winter 1943 until late Spring 1944 (???) on Wellington aircraft. He then moved back to Bomber Command Operations and completed a Bombing Leader course at the Armaments School at RAF Manby in January 1944 at the beginning of July 1944 at RAF Riccal (York). He was posted to No. 640 Squadron at RAF Leconfield In Yorkshire on Halifax 3 aircraft as a bomb aimer with the rank of Flight Lieutenant.
In his position as a Bomb Aimer leader, John was supposed to complete only 2 operations per month, but if a crew lacked a bomb aimer then John would go on the operation to complete the crew. For his actions when his aircraft was damaged during a raid over Germany in September 1944 John was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (although he did not receive the actual decoration until June 1945 (see separate piece).
[page break]
On 6 December 1944 John's aircraft – a Halifax III with radial engines – was hit whilst returning from a bombing raid over Osnabruck in Germany. John thinks his aircraft collided with a German night fighter. He was fortunate to escape from the falling aircraft – he still does not know how he got out of the fuselage), and landed by parachute in a field full of water. He sustained various injuries, and recovered in a hospital run by nuns at Neemkirchen in northern Germany until 20th January 1945. He was then sent to the interrogation centre at Dulagluft at Frankfurt-an-der-Oder near Barth near Stettin in Pomerania. The camp had an airfield alongside it. The camp was divided into 2 parts – an American section for USAF personnel and a British RAF Group Captain commanded the British prisoners. You were placed into the appropriate section according to which air force you had flown with. The camp was liberated by Russian forces on May 1st. 1945. Shortly afterwards members of the American Army appeared and took over the camp.
2 Group Captains from the camp managed to get through to the Allied lines at Lubeck and arranged for the camp prisoners (all RAF men?) to be flown back to the UK on B17 Flying Fortresses, 25 men to each aircraft on 13 May 1945. John's aircraft landed at Ford, and he then caught a train to (RAF) Cosford.
He underwent a rehabilitation course in Air Traffic Control at RAF Henlow.
He was demobbed in late 1946.
POST-WAR CAREER
John re-joined the RAF in 1949, and completed a 9 month Navigator and Bombing refresher course at No. 1 Air Navigation School at Topcliffe and RAF Middleton-St-George respectively between 1 June and 15 August 1949 on Anson and Wellington aircraft. This was followed by training at No. 201 Advanced Flying School at RAF Swinderby, flying Wellingtons with pilot Wing Commander Oxley, between 29 September and 30 November.
Wing Commander Oxley (known as Beetle), was quite dangerous as he did not like to use his instruments. On one operation John's aircraft was diverted to Anglesey and Beetle overshot the runway.
John then posted to No 236 Operational Conversion Unit at RAF Kinloss in Scotland, flying Lancaster aircraft, until 5 April 1950. It was a very cold experience as they lived in unheated tin (Nissen) huts. John then was posted to 38 Squadron at RAF Luqa, Malta, flying Lancasters on Maritime Reconnaissance Operations, including exercises with various Navies and Air Sea Rescue duties), until 19 July 1952. During this period he was seconded to RAF Masirah located on the island of Masirah in the Indian Ocean as Commanding Officer of the staging post between Aden and India.
There were frequent visitors, to the RAF base, especially the top people from the Defence College. Back in Malta, on 12th May 1952 John flew with 6 Lancaster aircraft from No. 38 Squadron which set of [sic] on a goodwill visit to Ceylon (Sri Lanka.) They flew via Luqa (Malta), Habbaniya (Iraq), Mauripur (India) to Negombo. They returned leaving Negombo on 31st May via Mauripur, Aden and Khartoum (Sudan) reaching Luqa on 4 June 1952.
On leaving Malta in September 1952 John was posted to No. 1 Maritime Reconnaissance School at St Mawgan in Cornwall as a Navigational Instructor, flying Lancasters until the end of September 1954. During this period John had two breaks, one being in the procession at the Queen's Coronation in 1953, and the second at the Queen's Review at RAF Odiham. In October 1954 until September 1956 John was posted to HQ 64 Group Home Command, at Rufforth in Yorkshire, as PA to the Air Officer Commanding (this was a non-flying role, apart from accompanying the Air Commodore on internal visits).
[page break]
From September 1956 until 23 January 1957 John attended Bomber Command Bombing School at RAF Lindholme, Yorkshire, for navigation training for the V-Bomber Force. In summer of that year he was posted instead to the Air Ministry, London Intelligence Branch. During his term at the Air Ministry he had a spell of 2 weeks at St Mawgan, flying as Navigator on Shackleton aircraft with the Air Sea Warfare Development Unit. This was to qualify him to receive flying pay. From October 1960 until May 1962 he served as Assistant Air Attache at the British Embassy in Paris. John was promoted to the rank of Wing Commander and liaised with the French Air Force for participation in air shows.
John retired from the RAF in May 1962, as there was only a 1 in 4 chance that he would be posted to a flying role, and by then he had 2 small children at home.
In September 1962 he joined Shell-Mex and BP Ltd, soon to become separate companies. He stayed with Shell until his retirement in June 1982.

GALLANTRY IN CAPTIVITY
AWARDS TO AIRMEN
MANY LIVES SAVED IN GERMANY
Citations issued yesterday for awards to members of the Royal Air Force and others for outstanding services while prisoners of war in Germany disclose some notable instances of how lives were saved by the initiative of individuals in camps or on the march between camps, and how in other cases morale was maintained under very exacting conditions. The awards were announced in the London Gazette on December 28.
Among the appointments as O.B.E. (Military Division) is Group Captain Lawrence E. Wray, R.C.A.F., of Ottawa, who was taken prisoner after being shot down in March, 1944. He succeeded in slowing down the pace of prisoners on the march from Sagan to Bremen and then to Lubeck after the German collapse, and saved them from being left to the mercy of the German population. He also risked being given up to the Gestapo or the S.S. by the commandant. At Bremen and Lubeck he improved the accommodation of fellow prisoners, in spite of the danger of reprisals from the Germans.
A similar award goes to Wing Commander (now Acting Group Captain) Harry Melville Arbuthnot Day, R.A.F., whose award of the D.S.O. was also announced the same day. One citation says that, taken prisoner in October, 1939, he was senior British officer at a camp near Frankfurt-am-Main, from which he organized the escape of 18 men, including himself. After his recapture he organized daring attempts at escape from successive camps, and was regarded by the Germans as dangerous. He was removed to a camp in Poland and later to Stalag Luft III, from which he helped to organize the escape of 80 men in March, 1944, through a tunnel. Fifty of the recaptured men were murdered by the Germans, and Day was removed to a camp in Berlin. On recapture after another escape he was chained to the floor of the condemned cell of a concentration camp for several weeks.
CONDITIONS IMPROVED
The citation in connexion with the award of the Distinguished Service Order to Acting Group Captain Day refers to his various attempts to escape after being captured and recaptured.
Another who obtained the O.B.E. (Military Division), Squadron Leader L. W. Vaughan Jennens, R.A.F., acted as adjutant to the senior British officer at Stalag Luft III, being practically its manager. Apart from what he did directly to improve the lot of the inmates, he handled the Germans with such tact that he was able to modify severe and inhuman orders and obtain many concessions.
Flight Lieutenant Raymond B. Hesselyn, R.N.Z.A.F., while personnel officer at Stalag Luft I, Barth, contributed to the well-being of British and American prisoners during periods of starvation and depression. He was also able to hand permanent records, including confidential reports, on 1,400 air crew to the Air Ministry on release. He was appointed M.B.E. (Military Division).
Flight Lieutenant Kenneth H. Pelly Murphy, R.A.F., received a similar award, took charge of the office administration of various camps, handling correspondence with the Red Cross, the protecting Power, Y.M.C.A., and next-of-kin, as well as communications with the detaining Power.
