Halifax LL293/4 Oct14-15th 1944
Permalink   


In 2001, I discovered my dad was John Campbell, a Warrant Officer at RAF Dishforth, who as a Flight Sergeant, was a Flight Engineer on Halifax LL293 or 4 depending on the source, who was shot down with his Canadian crew plus one Welshman over Stavoren in Holland on Oct14-15th 1944. They were dropping supplies for the Dutch Resistance and their codename was Rummy 6. They flew from Tarrant Rushton in Dorset as part of SOE operations and were in 298 Sqn. All survived save the bomb aimer, Harold Ferguson, who drowned as he could not swim, but the rest were hidden by the Dutch Resistance until liberation. The question is:"Did you know this crew, and, if so, do you have any further information about them after 1945?"

Thanks

Cathy Gillespie
