fair fighter revenge
hello ll.
many thanks for all your help..
my aunts husband warrant officer ARTHUR DOWNS DFM flew in both of the named aircraft .
he actually named the lancaster as he said all they wanted was a fair fight …….hence the name was given….
the first fairfighter crashed at woodbridge and broke in half on return from a mission . it was badly shot up with engines out … for getting the aircraft and the crew home arthur downs was awarded the DFM… at that time he was a flight engineer…….
after the war arthur never flew again ….he said it brought back too many bad memories …
once again thank you for all your help
best regards paul…….:)
