Sgt. Frank Albert Charles Harris

Royal Air Force 427 Sqn.

from:West Kington

(d.21st Feb 1944)

Frank Harris was my Uncle. I have recently been delving into my family history and although I had heard of him from family members I was not told where he died. With many thanks to a gentleman named John Belcher of Chippenham, Wilts I have learnt that he was killed on a mission to Stuttgart. The Halifax ZL-Y LV836 took off from Leeming at 0015 with three Canadians and four British crew but crashed approx. nine minutes later in a field one mile north west of Northallerton.

The names of the crew were:

  • F/O R K Laut RCAF
  • Sgt.E J Rove
  • F/O W N Hegy RCAF
  • P/O R W Moody RCAF
  • Sgt.G H Jones
  • Sgt. A F Fitton
