Flt Sgt Leslie Francis Condon DFM
Royal Air Force 101 Sqn
from:Mudgee NSW
Les Condon, my Uncle, served with 101 Sqn from Nov 1943 until June 1944 where he completed 27 missions with the same pilot and much of the same crew. Their first mission was on 22 Nov 1943 when their Lancaster crashed on take-off, and the entire crew escaped unhurt. They went on to complete their tour and flew on many of the huge night raids into Germany. Les was awarded the DFM in September 1944. He died in Sydney in October 1992 aged 69.
