Flt.Sgt. Sidney Lascelles Fereday
Royal Air Force 9 Squadron
from:Bromley Kent
(d.22nd Mar 1944)
My uncle, Sidney Lascelles Fereday, flew on Lancasters with 9 Squadron as a Flt Sgt. He died on March 22nd 1944 killed over Morscheid Germany after op to Frankfurt from RAF Bardney. His pilot was Angus J Jubb. On 18/3/44 he was flying with P/O Young and plane made crash landing over Kent.
After his death family received a letter from a WAAF saying that she was having Sid's baby. His mother, Nellie, refused to believe it and burned the letter. Recently we have found out that Sid's name appears on the Bilston War Memorial, Wolverhampton although he had no known connection to Bilston.
I am visiting Sid's grave in Rheinberg in Nov 2010 with his now 80 yr old brother Terence. Would love to know if anyone remembers Sidney or has any information about him.
