Aubrey Read
Royal Air Force 106 Sqdn
(d.26th Nov 1943)
My uncle Aubrey Read was a WOP/AG with 106 Squadron. His regular Lancaster was ED593 ZN-Y - which was previously Guy Gibson's 'Admiral Prune II'.
On 26/11/43 my uncle's crew volunteered for a raid on Berlin using JB592 (ZN-W) and failed to return. I believe this was 106 squadron's first day of operations from Metheringham following their move from Syerston. Sad to say my uncle never returned.
