Returning ex-POW'S to RAF Little Rissington?
After 2 years in Stalag IVB my father thinks he returned to RAF Little Rissington as an RAF ex-POW in early May 1945. He recalls the returning Lancaster they were aboard overshot the end of the runway and crashed through a hedge - luckily no injuries!
I have tried to find more information regarding RAF Little Rissington being used as a repatriation centre for RAF ex-POW's during Operation Exodus but so far without success. Enquiries with the RAF Museum also drew a blank. Even the excellent book about Bomber Command POW's "Footprints on the Sands of Time" has no reference to Little Rissington being used.
Can anyone possibly help with any information please?
