Bomber Streams

My old mans log (2.3 tours) 49 7 90 and 156 squadron showed 2 entries one in 1941 the other May 45 where his Welly bomber and Lanc escaped with the skin of their teeth when bombs dropped on and all around them. The Welly had one 4lb incendiary bounce off and the Lanc dodged a shower of medium bombs that passed by ahead, astern and by both wingtips. He retired after that saying 68 trips was enough. Don Benett agreed!
