Flt.Sgt. Ernest Edward Clifford "Nobby" Poulton 189 Squadron My father, Ernest Poulton, was mid upper gunner on Lancaster aircraft CA-T attached to 189 Squadron at Fulbeck in 1944. He flew on 14 missions to France, Germany and Poland. He finished the war in Eqypt, being part of Operation Tiger which was going to attack Japan prior to the A bomb being dropped by the Americans. He told me that his aircraft was the only one in the squadron that was never replaced and it survived the war. The tail gunner was called Victor Parsons another Englishman, the pilot came from Hong Kong and the engineer, who was an Australian, was called Aub. All survived the war uninjured.
