Notes
A Lancaster of No. 61 Squadron from RAF Syerston, coded QR-O, flown by Flight Lieutenant William ‘Bill’ Reid on the night of 3/4 November 1943 against Düsseldorf. Attacked twice by night-fighters, which shattered the cockpit and killed two of his crew, and wounded several times himself, Reid pressed on to bomb the target and then flew the battered Lancaster home, crash-landing it in England. He survived, and was awarded the Victoria Cross.
