If so he's my late great-uncle.

Your uncle was shot down on a raid to Berlin 26/11/'43 while serving with 7 Squadron in Lancaster JB 538.

Thanks David & Kyt I never knew that. I wish I'd have known it 4 years ago when I spent 2 months on operations on 7 Sqn! I only have sketchy details of Fred's career, memories that my grandfather told me before he died. I knew he got shot down flying withthe pathfinders and went to Stalag Luft I, but I didn't know which Sqn it was with.
