Leonard Manning
Royal Air Force 57 Squadron
(d.30th Nov 1941)
My Father, Leonard Manning, was on the Lancaster JB318 with Norman Gale when it was shot down. My family and I have just returned from Bassevelle in France where they hold a commemoration service every 5 years and lay wreaths on the graves of the 4 air men killed. One of which is Norman Gale.
The lady who organises the event has been trying unsucessfully to trace Norman Gale's family, so if Robin Padgett can contact me it would be great.
