Flt.Sgt. George Percy Woodroffe
Royal Air Force 102 Squadron
from:Kent
(d.30th July 1943)
My 2nd cousin, George Woodroffe was a Flight Sergeant in 102 Squadron and was killed on a bomber raid over Germany on the 30th of July 1943. I have found in my late father's photographs a picture of a twin engined bomber with the name "Pluto" painted on it's nose. The crew plus, presumably, ground crew are included in front of the bomber. I can only presume at this stage that George Woodroffe is in the picture but cannot be sure (why else would my father have this photograph) This picture could also be interest to others with family or friends in 102 Squadron. Any help to identify the plane and it's crew would be greatly appreciated.
