  • Obituary

    I believe that Stanley was involved in the attack on Arnhem Bridge, towing gliders carrying Allied Troops. His final mission took place in August 1944 - over 2 months after the D Day landings and about one month before his son was born. He took off from Harwell at 2310 hours on 24th August on an SOE operation over France. At about 0140 hrs. at a position ESE of Brest on the Brittany Peninsular in Northern France he encountered anti-aircraft fire. He was clearly not expecting enemy fire and it was subsequently identified as Allied Fire (probably from the Americans). He let go the colours of the period to identify the plane, but two further bursts of fire were encountered, damaging the port engine. The plane was turned onto a reciprocal course and reached the vicinity of the Normandy coast by which time they were searching for somewhere to land. They radioed for assistance, but none was forthcoming. At about 0310 hrs. flames were noticed coming from the engine. At this time the aircraft commenced violent vibration and became very difficult for Stanley to control. He then gave the order to abandon the aircraft. The Air Gunner, Navigator, Flight Engineer, Bomb Aimer and Wireless Operator all bailed out, by which time the plane was at about 1,000 ft. The Pilot stayed at the controls at least until the last of the crew had jumped, crashed with the aircraft and was killed. Fortunately all of the crew survived, although one, the Air Gunner, was injured.
