Flt.Sgt. Robert Craig . Royal Air Force 50th Squadron from Rutherglen, Glasgow. (d.25th July 1944) My dad's older brother, Robert Craig, was killed in action on the 25th July, 1944 at the age of 19 years. My dad was only 13 years when his big brother was killed. He obviously found it difficult to talk about but he did tell me some things about him.
Recently I have been trying to find out more about what happened all those years ago (nearly 70 years). I have discovered that he was a flight engineer on a Lancaster bomber and most of the other crew members were from the Canadian Air Force. They were based in RAF Skellingthorpe, Lincoln.
Unfortunately, all crew members lost their lives on their first mission to bomb an oil refinery in Donges, France. They crashed in Pontchateau, Nothern France and are all buried in a collective grave.

- Flt.Sgt. R.Craig RAF
- Sgt. J.L.Nelson RCAF
- F/O S.J.Sulliven RCAF
- Sgt. W.J.B.Doughty RAF
- Sgt. N. Gronbeck RCAF
- Sgt. G.F.Finch RCAF
For my dad, who is now deceased, I plan to visit Skellingthorpe next year for the 70th anniversary and later in the year I hope to visit France to pay my respects to my Uncle Robin and all his crew. I don't have any photographs of my Uncle Robin as none have survived.
I was wondering if anyone out there met or knew my uncle or any of the crew. Would love to find some photos of the crew and/or 50th Squadron. Do any survive?

F/O. Thomas Watson Craig . Royal Air Force 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron from Carlisle, Cumberland I recently came into the possession of the Flying Log Books, medals, wings and other memorabilia of my late Uncle Thomas Watson Craig who was a Lancaster pilot with No. 44 Squadron based at RAF Spilsby from November 1944 through June 1945.
His first operational flight was on the 2nd of November 1944 for Operation Dusseldorf as 2nd Pilot then two days later on 4th of November he flew as pilot in command of his own Lancaster in operation Dortmund-Ems Canal. He completed his 30th and final mission on 25th of April 1945 for Operation Berchtesgaden. With the end of hostilities, he transferred to Transport Command and flew Yorks in the Middle East and as a Flt/Lt was appointed a route check pilot for 51 Squadron, No. 47 Group.
He retired from the RAF in 1966 with the rank of Squadron Leader and resided with his wife in the town of Knaresborough, Yorkshire. I believe he was a Post Master at a post office there.
A curiosity is that his initial Log Book is labelled Royal Canadian Air Force although all his initial flying training was done at No. 28 EFTS Wolverhampton. He did some time at Moncton, New Brunswick prior to going to Texas for training on the AT6A Texan. His second log book with Air Transport Command is an RAF one.
Unfortunately, in the information passed along to me, there was no mention of his crew’s names but his aircraft numbers were shown in his log with the most frequent being a tail number 625H in which he flew 18 sorties.

Elizabeth Laidler "Spelk" Cram . from Lynemouth, Northumberland I only know my mother Elizabeth Cram was stationed in Ramsgate I believe on searchlights and/or tracking equipment. I can tell very little of her service life but till the day she passed away in 1987 if she was caught unaware by the sound of an air raid siren or "doodlebug" on the TV she would still jump.
If anyone remembers her or has any information I would love to hear from them
