George Lowson was posted into the squadron on 19th October 1941 and went on to complete sixteen operations.

Although a qualified pilot, he occupied the 2nd pilot position and acted as the navigator.

He was later temporarily detached to North Luffenham where we believe he was re-training for the new Manchester bombers.

He returned for a short stay with 49 Squadron who were flying from RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire at the time.
