Apologies for resurrecting an old thread.... But was Google searching for LV869 and came across this thread. My uncle was also a rear gunner on this aircraft but was also the last, all lost on 15/16.09.44 on a raid on Kiel.
Bjproc, Welcome aboard, no harm in adding a post to an old thread - it happens regularly here when a Google search directs you to this amazing website. The opening post author has not logged in since 2015. Will send some research tips next.
Hi Annie, Not sure if you are still on here but I came across this whilst I was looking up my grandpa’s Halifax. He was Len Broadhurst - your grandfather’s pilot. I’ve looked through his log book and it mentions your grandfather and the rest of the crew!
