My great uncle (467 Sqn navigator) was on that Nuremburg raid - his logbook records 8.35hrs for the trip.

His pilot (S/Ldr DPS Smith) counted 30 burning aircraft between Aachen and the target!

His longest trip was to Munich 24 April 1944 - 10.05hrs. I believe this one routed via Italy to keep the defences guessing - he records 1900 miles as the distance flown.
