My uncle Philip Moore was the Flight Engineer who flew with pilot Ralph Allsebrook, DSO DFC in Lancaster EE130, which was shot down by flak on the Dortmund Ems canal raid in September 1943.
The crew had formerly been with 49 Squadron and had volunteered to join 617 in June 1943 to replace those lost on the Dams raid.
