Nyt 05 DEC
2011: Det var IKKE en
Halifax, der styrtede ved Halskov, men Lancaster X!
Se fotos Merlin! Lancaster X
og Press + Halskov Halifax/Lancaster.
HAL DT628 startede fra RAF Snaith den 20. april
1943 kl. 21.23 for at bombe Stettin.
Flyet vendte ikke tilbage! Det forsvandt
sporløst.
Sergeant (Pilot) Deryk Bramley Martin, 21 år, var
søn af Lt.-Col. Arthur William og Mary Dorothy Martin,
West
Dulwich, London,
United Kingdom. Hans navn er på Panel 158 på the Runnymede Memorial blandt
mere
end 20.000 navne
på flyvere, der ikke har en kendt grav. (Kilde:
CWGC)
Se hans navn.
Sergeant Deryk Bramley Martin var 2nd Pilot (Attached) på
HAL DT628.
Nigel
Martin fortalte, at hans onkel
som
ny pilot med sin egen fuldt uddannede besætning netop skulle til at flyve på
bombetogter. Før det kom
han med
HAL DT628
for at få operativ erfaring. (En normal procedure, jvfr.
"Bomber Crew" af James Taylor og Martin Davidson.)
Nigel fortalte sin far om identifikationen. Tony Martin så mere i
www.airmen.dk om
HAL DT628 og
skrev til AS:
"Det hele er meget bevægende og til tider er jeg lige ved at græde. Jeg er sikker
på, når jeg fortæller det til min bror og mine søstre, at de vil være taknemlige
for efter
68 år
at kende vores brors sidste hvilested."

Sergeant Deryk Bramley Martin was the 2nd
Pilot (Attached) of
HAL DT628. Nigel Martin states that his uncle as a
new pilot with his own fully trained crew was
about to fly on bombing raids. Before that he joined the crew of
HAL DT628 to gain operational experience. (A normal
procedure, according to "Bomber Crew" by
James Taylor and Martin Davidson. AS)
Nigel told his father about the identification. Tony Martin studied
www.airmen.dk about
HAL DT628
and wrote to AS, "It
is all very moving and at times I am close to tears. I am sure that when I tell
my brother and sisters that they will be thankful to know, after 68 years, the
final resting place of our brother."
