This organisation shows a copy in their library list (found on a web search):

Whether they’ve actually got one, who knows, but got to be worth an email

Hi

Yes, I did see the memorial, and a fine one it is too. . I was actually in the area walking, but I made a detour to Creswell because I’d seen an article in the local paper about the 1950 mine disaster , and was looking for a memorial to it in the church graveyard:

This is when I came across Sgt Mellish’s headstone. The miners memorial (and some of their graves) aren’t actually in the churchyard though – i found them in a more modern cemetery about a mile away. I noticed there was a Mellish killed in that disaster – William aged 55. I wonder if this was John’s father or uncle? Very sad

I served at Binbrook 79 – 85.

All things must pass, I know, but it does make me sad to see these images when I think of what the place used to be.

Thank – you for that, most of it is new information to me. One is left wondering why he was buried in a little graveyard in Yorkshire a long way from the crash. I can only surmise that he perhaps married in this area

NN766 was delivered to 103 Sqdn 11Dec44. No info. on operational history. NN766 was one of two 103 Sqdn lancasters lost on this operation. See: NF999. Airborne 1823 7Jan45 from Elsham wolds. Outbound, crashed into high ground near Hohrodberg (Haut-Rhin), 4 km N from the small town of Munster.
