70 years ago tonight, my late father Ken Crossley visited Warsaw (or thereabouts)
34 Sqd Liberator KH150 'R' departed Foggia/Celone at 1845 hrs 10 Sept returning some 10hrs 55min later at 0540hrs 11 Sept - sadly Target obscured 10/10 cloud RTB with supply containers
Crew- Capt Keith CARTER (pilot i/c), Lt Jan Gysbert MARITZ (2nd pilot), Lt Jon Daniel Retief SLABBER (Observer) and WO1 Mark Albert LAWRENCE (W/Op A/G) all SAAF Sgt Thomas GARATTY (Bomb Aimer), Sgt Kenneth CROSSLEY (A/G), Sgt Eric HYAMS (A/G) and Sgt Kenneth Richard TODD (A/G) all RAF(VR)
AFAIK all of the above survived the War
