Wing Cmdr. Albert Golding DFC

Royal Air Force 12 Squadron

(d.26th Mar 1942)

The crew of a Vickers Wellngton, which was shot down near Andijk (The Netherlands) at the evening of 26th of March 1942 were:

  • RAF Wg Cdr Golding, A DFC and Bar Captain (Pilot)
  • RAAF 403431 Sgt F D McLeod, (2nd Pilot)
  • RCAF Flt Sgt B A Doe, (Observer)
  • RCAF Flt Sgt M Duncan, (Wireless Air Gunner)
  • RAF Sgt W S Makin, (Wireless Air Gunner)
  • RAF Flt Sgt P G Thorpe, (Rear Gunner)
It took off from Binbrook and was heading to Essen (Germany) to bomb the Krupp steel factories. The bomber was shot down by Egmont Prinze zur Lippe Weissenfeld of the German night fighters. We are investigating this in order to erect a monument at the place they crashed to honor and remember them. We are looking for all kind of information and specially pictures of the crew.
