Lancaster XKB879

Posted by floyd williston on Sun Jan 05, 2003 02:04:41 PM

I'm currently researching a book on the youngest Canadian airman to die in WW11. He(Wright) was killed in a plane crash in the UK on April 30, 1945. Actually, at 16, he was the youngest aircrew fatality in both wars. His 428 Squadron Lancaster (skippered by F/L Campbell of Manitoba) crashed in Sandon, Stafford, Staffordshire, UK, on April 30, 1945.

I'm anxious to find a photograph of KB 87 and any crew photographs other than what I now have. I have the microfilm of 428 Sq. ORB but it lacks much detail.

For a review of one of my books see:

Thanks.

I'm also anxious to find surviving family of two of the crew: Berryman and Lawley(Hamilton, Ont.)

I'm aware of the websites by Bill Hillman re: F/L Campbell.
