| The picture shows members
of Eddie Tickler's crew of 57 Sqn at East Kirkby. Tickler went
back to a HCU for 'R&R' after his 49 Sqn experiences but
eventually went back on operations. On their 13th operation an Me 110 caught them on the notorious Nuremburg raid 30/31 March 1944. Their Lancaster was ND 622 DX-E named 'The Jampot and 7 Rasberries' as Ed was a member of the Tickler Jam Company family. Three survived as PoWs including Ed.... four sadly perished. |
