This night several planes from the RAF flew with supplies of weapons to Denmark. STI LK567 saw no lights from the drop zone at Faaborg (here) over which the plane circled. The plane started the return flight and passed Vandel Airfield (here). Suddenly flak opened fire and the two inner engines and the fuel tanks were hit causing a vehement fire. After the forced landing
F/Sgt (Flight Engineer) Ronald Francis Day and
F/Sgt (Rear Gunner) Edward Tate managed to get out of the plane. Day had hurt a
hand, but W/O (Pilot) Edward A. Dax, F/Sgt (Navigator)
Thomas Jones and F/Sgt (Wireless Operator) Frank William Fuller also got out of
the plane, but at the opposite side.
The German surrender was announced in the
BBC evening news on 4 May, 1945. The announcement came at 20.36, 6 minutes after
