In remembrance of those that made the ultimate sacrifice....

At 16h05 on 29 July 1943 F/Sgt Cyril Downing of Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire, took off aboard Mk V Liberator FL965 coded A for Apple for patrol over the Bay of Biscay. At 20h24 an incomplete radio transmission was received reporting the sighting of a Ju88. No further transmissions were received.

This report is reflected in 'A History of 5./B.F.Gr. 196, 1./S.A.Gr. 128, and 10./Z.G. 1' By Andrew Arthy where on 29 July 1943 Ofw. Hans Gryz claimed a Liberator in the late afternoon (20:36) in the area of Pl.Qu. 15 West S/7044. The big four-engined aircraft was shot down into the sea from a height of ten metres. Ofw. Gryz’s victim was probably FL965 of 224 Sqdn. (www.airwarpublications.com)

The crew are commemorated on the Runnymeade Memorial.

Dry fit the fuselage and the wings. Boy oh boy it’s a biggie. We’re going to need a bigger spray booth. :D
