A chap who would have been my uncle had he survived arrived on 101 Sqn in December 1941, flying Wellingtons. On 2 Jan 1942, he was used for the SAR crew. On the 4th, he was laying mines of Brest. On the 10th, he was on a raid dropping bombs on Wilhelmshaven. On the 20th, he bombed Emden, but was shot down and killed near Texel on the way back from the target.
Four sorties, the first two 'lighter duties'.
