”Under en mineudlægningsoperation til
Danzig-bugten styrtede en Lancaster
(LAN
LM652)
den 27. august 1944 i havet, antagelig Kattegat.
Hele besætningen omkom.” (FAF)
Flying Officer Frank Kenneth Morley, 19 år, var søn af J. Gordon Morley
og Dorothy Ena Morley, Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
Hans navn er
på Panel 247 på the Runnymede Memorial blandt mere end 20.000 navne på flyvere,
der ikke har en kendt grav. (Kilde: CWGC)
Fra LAN LM652
er 1 flyver begravet i Tved på Mols og 1 i Mandal i Norge. 6 flyvere har ingen
kendt grav.
"Efter krigen er adskillige vragdele fundet i Begtrup Vig og i farvandet
syd for Mols Hoved, men det har ikke været muligt at identificere flyet ud fra
vragdelene.
Det må dog formodes, at der er tale om
LAN LM652" (FT 90-106-29) I så fald er flyet styrtet ned
måske omkring
her.

Flying Officer Frank Kenneth Morley, 19,
was the son of J. Gordon Morley and Dorothy Ena Morley, of Stratford, Ontario,
Canada.
He is commemorated on the
Runnymede Memorial, Panel 247, among more than 20,000
airmen who have no known grave. (Source:
CWGC)
His name is engraved on the Memorial Wall at the
BC Museum of Canada.
The Canadian Virtual War Memorial has
this.
He
is remembered on
The Walls of Names at the
International Bomber Command Centre, Phase 1, Panel 76.
1 airman from
LAN LM652 is buried in Tved in Jutland, Denmark, and 1 in
Mandal, Norway. 6 airmen have no known grave.
"After the
war a number of pieces of wreckage have been found in Begtrup Vig (Cove) and in
the waters south of Mols Hoved, but it has not been possible to identify the
aircraft by the pieces of wreckage. However, it must be presumed that this is
LAN LM652" (FT 90-106-29) In that case the plane has
crashed maybe about
here."
