428 Ghost Squadron - Middleton St George
Permalink   

Does anybody have any info or pictures of 428 ghost squadron from 1943 -1945, my father was a rear gunner in Halifaxes and Lancasters based first at Dalton then at Middleton St George. His name is BL Deakin and he flew with a pilot called Frank Lord. He recently gave me his flying log book &  I have managed to match the raids listed therein to details found on a detailed website.

Steve,

you probably have seen this combat report submitted by your father 3 November 1943.

Hello,
