World War Two / Re: 50 Squadron crew, June '41
« on: Sunday 01 January 12 13:11 GMT (UK) »
Hello David
I was quite thrilled to see a photograph of 'Johnnie' Tytherleigh. I am compiling a book about local (Leamington Spa) people who are worthy of being remembered, one of whom was Henry Maudslay who flew on the dam busters raid. As you say Johnnie was his front gunner in Lancaster ED937. Henry Maudslay was with 50 squadron at Skellingthorpe in 1943 and Johnnie would have crewed up with him then. I have only one photograph of Henry Maudslay, a portrait of him in civvies, he was apparently not keen on having his photograph taken. It's great to find a photograph that shows one of his crew.
