Continuing the query about Sgt Fowell - The plane was a Halifax II No JB972 - EQ-Q Which was on a raid to Dusseldorf. It took off from Leeming at 22.51 hours and was hit by flak while on its bombing run. The plane crashed between Krefeld and the target killing Grant, Fowell and Lang. Stentiford, Carter, Moore and Laloge were all taken prisoners. [see Chorley, WR: RAF Bomber Command Losses of the Second World War - vol 4 (1943) p179]
