The F. Brady Crew of 427 Squadron.
L to R: Sgt G. Filer RCAF, Wireless Op; Sgt R. Charman RCAF-POW,
Navigator; Sgt R. Johnson RCAF-POW, Bomb aimer;
Sgt J. Fletcher RCAF,
Rear Gunner; and Sgt F. Brady RCAF,
Pilot.
This crew failed to return from operations to Peenemunde on
August
17/18, 1943
while flying Halifax V DK-243 coded ZL-F, after being shot down
by a night fighter.
G. Filer missed the flight on this night, and therefore survived.
Also with the
crew on this night (but not in photo) were Sgt I. Pugh RAF,
Flight engineer;
W/O2 J. Troman RCAF
Wireless Op; and Sgt O. McIntyre RCAF
Mid-upper gunner.
