Bad weather flying - 1945 style
Very poor weather and a garbled W/T message may have caused the deaths of 7 Lancaster aircrew on 15th January 1945. I don't know whether aircraft would fly in such weather today but this crew from 61 Sqdn were returning from a raid on the Leuna synthetic oil plant at Merseburg. The Lancaster crashed into a radar mast on Bord Hill, near Langham, Norfolk. All RAF crew were buried in their home towns.
