The Nuremberg raid 75 years on.

[Paul K]

I doubt this will get much reaction across the pond, but it's worth a mention for the UK and Commonwealth members here. Tonight (30/31 March ) marks the 75th anniversary of the disastrous raid on Nuremberg, during which 95 Bomber Command aircraft were shot down, and a further 10 written off afterwards. In this one night, the RAF lost 545 aircrew; more than in the entire Battle of Britain. Among them was Halifax flight engineer Christopher Panton, to whose memory the museum at East Kirkby and their soon-to-be-airworthy Lancaster 'Just Jane' are dedicated.







Rest in peace, gentlemen.
