Overview
There were only 2 operations this week, to Caen and Tours, in support of the Allied forces trying to break out of the Normandy peninsular. One aircraft was lost over the Channel, with 2 aircrew killed. The aircraft lost was piloted by Pilot Officer J Oram, an Australian, who had already survived another crash landing on water in escaping from the Japanese invasion of Singapore. His son, a Wing Commander in the Australian Air Force, visited Wickenby last year with his family.
