Flt.Sgt. Donald Desmond William Rogers
Royal Air Force 106 Squadron
My Uncle, F/Sgt Donald Rogers, was an Air Gunner with 106 Squadron at RAF Metheringham. This wonderful site has a photograph of him under a submission entitled F/Lt Albert George Huggins 106 Squadron. The second photo with the 6 crew members, Don is the first of the crew on the left. It was submitted by F/Lt Huggins' daughter.
I have no other pictures of Don in his wartime outfit, and to see him with his whole crew is amazing. He passed away 2 years ago now aged 90, and sometimes spoke of the crew and in particular the Australian captain who he said kept them all safe on their first operation, when they nearly went down.
