Hello.

(i got the records from Bob Baxter, and internet)
**********************************************this is wat i found
about one
crewmember****see below***
also look at the diferent crashdate! (so now im not sure whats right
ore wrong!)
sure it is the crashplace and serial.
**********************************************
LACHARITE, FS (now F/O) Roger Alfred (R62734/J96155) - British
Empire Medal -
No.51 Squadron - Award effective 11 February 1947 as per London
Gazette of that
date and AFRO 107/47 dated 28 February 1947. Born in Sherbrooke,
Quebec, 23
August 1919; home there. Educated at St.Patrick's Academy and
Seminaire St.
Charles Boromee. Reserve Militia, 1938. Enlisted in Sherbrooke, 23
July
1940. Trained at Trenton (No.2 BGS); received WAG wing, February
1941. and
formally graduated 17 March 1941. Discharged October 1945; later
employed by
Bell as line foreman.

Flight Sergeant Lacharite was a member of the crew of an aircraft
which was
shot down over Holland on 25th July 1941. He was captured by the
Germans after
landing by parachute, and taken first to Dulag Luft, and a month
later to
Stalag VIIIB at Lamsdorf. By changing identities with a New
Zealander, Flight
Sergeant Lacharite managed to be sent out on a working party and
made three
escapes, all of which were eventually unsuccessful, although on the
first
occasion he was at liberty for three months and on the second and
third
occasions he reached Prague and the Polish border respectively.
After the last
attempt, his true identity was discovered and Flight Sergeant
Lacharite was
sent to Stalag Luft III at the end of July 1942. Subsequently he
engaged in
tunnelling and other escape activities. In the autumn of 1944 the
whole group
was moved to Fallingbostel where this airman worked in liaison with
French
workmen in order to obtain passports, food and equipment for the use
of
escapers. Later, while on the march from Stalag 357, Flight
Sergeant Lacharite
and a companion left the column on the fifth day of the march, and
after three
days in the woods, made contact with Allied troops. Throughout his
period of
captivity, Flight Sergeant Lacharite showed great determination to
escape and
also to assist other escapers. He set a fine example to his fellow
prisoners.

Dishforth. The specific aircraft was MH-F. One night he was assigned
to the wrong crew and in spite of arguing was not allowed to fly in
the usual aircraft. The aircraft he flew in did return that night,
but his usual crew aboard MH-F did not return. That aircraft flew
into a quarry over Yorkshire in thick fog. I have seen this
documented in official RAF records. Presumably, the aircraft
described on your website was a replacement for the one lost in the
quarry, however, it was still quite an experience to browse through
a website and come across Whitley MH-F, especially as references to
Whitleys are quite rare.
