Sgt James Strang
Royal Air force Volunteers Reserve 78 Squadron

(d.2nd Jun 1942)
My father, James Strang was stationed at Croft with 78 Sqn, he survived the first thousand bomber raid but stood in for his mate who was getting married and was shot down on the second thousand bomber raid on the 2nd Jun 1942. I understood that he was on a Stirling. His pilot bailed out and was a prisoner of war. He sent my mother a letter telling what happened and I still have it.
