Thanks for the link g3. Interesting that Lord had planned on becoming ordained before the war. The Rev. Lord would have had a quite a ring to it of course.
The bitter irony of the story is that the drop landed in German hands as they had already overrun the DZ. The crew of course had no way of knowing that.

A very nicely written piece of journalism, and a worthy reminder of those unsung heroes of supply dropping, the despatchers!
