RF531

I feel that i should post something about RF 531 as my father was one of the crew.He bailed out but was badly injuired upon landing.Members of the 8TH Hussars who were in the area treated him for his injuries and took him to Luneberg hospital where he died three hours later,after making a statement about what happened..The official line was that they had gone off course into Russia and been shot down by two mig 15s.Now that 50 years have gone by i shall try the public records office to see if any more information is available.
