253606 Sgt Edward Vincent Norman Royal Air Force Pathfinder 83rd Squadron from:London (d.25th Aug 1942) Lancaster R5610 attached to 83rd Squadron, left Wyton on a mission for Frankfurt. With poor visibility, the target was very hard to find and most T. I's fell into open territory west of Frankfurt. With batteries playing up, Pilot Fl. Lt Matheson asked Navigator Fl. Lt Buchan to plot a fast course for home. The German night fighters were on high alert and Obit. Barte was informed from his Jagerleitoffizier Fw. Rathmann that an enemy plane (Lancaster R5610) had entered his sector. A salvo hit the Lancaster's fuel tank in the wing and the plane exploded in mid air, crashing in pieces just outside Morkhoven, Belgium.
