Sgt. Leslie Ernest James Davenport . Royal Air Force nav. 7 Squadron I have done alot of research on my Grandad, Leslie Ernest James Davenport. He volunteered for the RAF and was posted with 7 Squadron. At the start of the war he was in training and flew with a Wellington Squadron in Lincolnshire but I have been unable to find any information on this.
I am aware he was with 7 squadron at Oakington in Cambridge.
I am aware of 13 of his missions, then on the Sept 7th 1941 he was shot down over Recklinghausen Germany, after a bombing raid to Berlin.
His regular crew wee:
- F/O D.T Witt - passed away in 1963
- Sgt. L D A Bolton
- P/O D.K Deyell
- Sgt. A.E Burrows - KIA
- P/O J.L.A Mills - KIA
- Sgt J.T Prentice - Living in NZ
Other people I am aware he would have known were:
A.H Piper (who passed away three years ago),D.H Williams,
F.C Williams,
K.O Blunden,
E.S Baker,
R. Blacklaw,
Sgt. Hale,
K. Huntley,
J.T Copley,
The crew he was shot down with on the 7th September 1941, were all POWs.
- F/sgt Alick Yardley - Serv.No 748748 - taken to Stalag Luft 6
- F/O C.M Hall (RAAF) 402002 - still alive
- Sgt. J.H Boulton 742790
- Sgt J. Sutton 746720
- Sgt A. Speakman 551472
- Sgt D. Owens 528924
I have been to the records office at Kew and found all about the raids he was on I know he was based at Oakington with 7 Squadron. He saw active service with 13 missions that I am aware off between June 1941 - September 1941. I am aware of the POW camps he was in as well from Hyderkrug, Sagan, Lamsdorf, Thorn, Fallingbostel.
I am interested whether anyone has photo's of squadron 7 (Aircrew and planes) or knows if any of the above airmen are still alive and how I could trace them or their families if they have passed?
My grandad was a navigator and mainly a front gunner. He went on raids such as Cologne, Berlin, Dusseldorf, Bethune (France), La Pallice (France), Borkum Seaplane base, Hannover, Keil, Duisburg, Huls to name some. I am aware of the many books which some are in my posession but I would love to know whether any of these veterans are still about.
Any information will be greatly recieved. I would love to meet or speak with people that may know my grandad or served in the same squadron. My grandad has sadly passed away in 1988. I was unable to speak to him about the war. I do have photos in my family of some of my grandad and colleagues that maybe of interest to others.
Look forward to any info that comes up.
