Sgt. Kenneth Frank Goode
Royal Air Force 100 Squadron
(d.18th Aug 1943)
Sgt Kenneth Goode was my great uncle and I'm looking for information about his time in the RAF, eg. his age on joining or his age when he was killed, his mission, details of his flight etc. I am collating information about the Goode family and am having trouble locating Kenneth Goode on any of the genealogy sites.
Editors Note:
The crew took off in Lancaster ED647, HW-T at 21.24 on the 17th of August 1943
from Grimsby on a mission to Peenemunde. The aircraft crashed in the target
area.
The crew were:
F/O H.I.Spiers RNZAF
Sgt C.W.Torbett
P/O J.Weaver
Sgt K.F.Goode
Sgt S.J.Cassell
Sgt O.M.Atkins
Sgt J.Francis
Sgt Cassell was buried locally on the 30th of August 1943, but he, with five of his comrades are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial.
Sgt Francis is buried in Poland at Malbork Commonwealth War Cemetery.
