Tomorrow (25 May 2016) is the anniversary of the death of my Uncle Joe ( bottom right of the photo) who was the navigator of Lancaster Mk 111 ND624 (PM-F - 103 Sqn, RAF Elseham Wolds). After bombing the railway marshalling yards in Aachen, the aircraft crashed at Sistig, 6km S of Gemund, Eifel District, Germany at approximately 02.24 mostly likely shot down by Oblt Joseph Kraft.  The crew is buried together at Rheinberg War Cemetery, Germany.
