Council Says Yes to Bomber Command Memorial

Westminster City Council met on the 13th May to make a final decision on the siting of the Memorial on the edge of Green Park near the RAF Club on Piccadilly, however, it seems that there was opposition to the plan! A group known as the “Thorney Island Society” (apparently nothing to do with the ex-RAF airfield in Hampshire) filed their objection and started an online petition against the scheme. Early reports stated this was because they felt such a memorial was too “triumphalist”, but to be fair they merely felt it would cause some disturbance to the habitat of the squirrels in that part of the park and the loss of a few square feet of grade II listed turf. They proposed that it should be located on the embankment (presumably there are fewer squirrels there!) But anyone who is familiar with the Green Park site and its proximity to the number of significant war memorials at the Wellington Arch (Australian, New Zealand, Commonwealth, Royal Artillery and others) would realise that it is the most appropriate place for this major national and long overdue memorial. Any delay would be a betrayal to the surviving veterans who hope to see this planned memorial finally dedicated in 2012. The Thorney Island Society’s “Save The Green Park From Huge Monument” online petition gathered just 201 signatures before being closed! Thankfully, the Westminster City Council's planning applications sub committee saw sense and gave their permission for the monument. The Chairman, Councillor Alastair Moss, said "This new landmark for London is a fitting tribute to the heroes of Bomber Command who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. It is a sign of this country's gratitude to these exceptional people who were brave enough to fight for us and it will stand as an iconic London monument marking how good came to triumph over evil for many generations to come."The latest images of the memorial detail the scale model of the fantastic bronze sculpture, by Philip Jackson, of a bomber crew that will form the centre piece of the memorial. I am sure all who read this look forward to the day when we can walk through this memorial gateway and enjoy our day of freedom in the park that the lives of 55,573 young men made possible.

It’s a free country, and everyone is entitled to their views, but you have to despair at what some people are prepared to object to. However, common sense has prevailed and the proposed Bomber Command Memorial should be built in time for HM the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012, a decision that even the squirrels can live with. As I write it is just a month until the Brize Families day and hopefully some of you are planning to attend and meet the men and women of 101 Squadron “at home”. I’m sure many of them hoped to at home a bit more but it seems the VC10s are still required for duty in the Gulf and rumours of their early retirement seem greatly exaggerated.You may notice some changes to this edition of 101 Matters as I have used a Mac instead of PC in putting it together. Hopefully you will find it an improvement, but please let me know what you think.Time to book for the Reunion Dinner on Saturday the 4th September. We had another great night last year and I look forward to seeing all our regulars and hopefully some first timers for this truly enjoyable day in Lincoln. Don’t miss out, send the form in today (is that OK, Paul?)

Cheers, Gary W8man

Spring 2010Keeping Our Membership In Touch And Informed

The 31st of March 2010 marked the 66th Anniversary of that fateful day in 1944 when No 101 Squadron lost seven Lancaster crews in a major raid on Nuremberg. In what has become an annual tradition a large group of current Servicemen and women from this country and the United States along with RAF veterans and past members of the Airborne Regiments met at RAF Welford to commemorate the loss of the seventh Lancaster with its crew and also acknowledge the bravery of the airborne forces who operated from Welford at that time. As most Association Members will

know, the seventh Lancaster had managed to return to England but crashed at Welford killing all on board. The weather matched the sombre mood of the day with rain, wind and a temperature little above freezing. The traditional open air ceremony would have challenged even the most hardy so there was great relief when the organiser, Colin Haigh (an ex-101 Squadron Member) hurriedly re-arranged the Ridgeway Military and Aviation Group Museum to permit the ceremony to be held indoors. While the 101 Squadron and USAF Standard Parties had to invent some ad hoc drill movements to cope with the confined space the memorial ceremony was performed with fitting dignity under the capable lead of the local vicar, the Reverend John Townsend. He was assisted by Major Trent Davis USAF, the padre at Fairford. At the conclusion of the Last Post wreaths were laid on behalf of OC 101 Squadron, the 101 Squadron Association, the Royal Air Force Association and representatives of two of the crews which were lost 66 years ago. Jeanette Parker, who’s great uncle was the Special Duties Operator on the Welford Lancaster, was unable to leave her teaching duties but her husband represented her resplendent in his army uniform. Robin Riley, who’s cousin was the pilot of the Lancaster which crashed at Lauterbach in Germany, made the second individual presentation. With the ceremony complete welcome refreshments accompanied much spirited conversation in which Pat Clifford, a loyal Association Member, was well to the fore. The 101 Squadron Association is indebted to Colin Haigh, his colleagues and to the Service personnel of 101 Squadron, RAF Fairford and RAF Welford for preserving, organising and participating in this moving annual event.

Welford 2010

Ludford Magna village decided that the 85th birthday of it’s very own resident WWII Lancaster veteran shouldn’t pass without celebration and so treated Al Greethurst to a surprise party in the White Hart pub. He even had a special 101 Sqn Lancaster cake baked by Mary Bullivant and his daughter Jacqui traveled up from Hampshire. All his many friends in the village were there to wish him a very happy birthday. Al flew Avro Lancasters and Lincolns from Ludford and nearby Binbrook with 101 Sqn and later flew Avro Vulcans with the Squadron from Finningley and Waddington. Al is the longest serving member of the 101 Sqn Association Committee, as secretary for many years and now as the Ludford village representative. I am sure all our readers will wish him many happy returns.

Ludford Celebrates Al’s 85th Birthday

In September 2008 a new bronze memorial plaque, dedicated to 101 Sqn aircrew who lost their lives serving at Ludford Magna, was unveiled on the wall of Ludford C of E Primary School in the hope that it would serve as an education and inspiration to the children.

Unfortunately, the school has now closed and with the fate of the buildings uncertain plans were made to relocate the plaque. It was decided that the plaque would be mounted on the wall of the White Hart pub where it can be easily seen by the public and on the route of the annual memorial parade through the village. Pub landlords Jenny and Mick were more than happy with the plan as the White Hart has been a watering hole for 101 Sqn personnel since 1943. Now sited by the front entrance of the building the plaque has a permanent home and is a fitting reminder of the many young men of 101 Sqn who may have frequented the White Hart but made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The intention is for OC 101 Sqn and our Association Chairman to formally unveil the plaque on Sunday the 5th September just before the church service.

Beginning of the End?101 Sqn said farewell in style to two of the RAFs original VC10 C1K troopers. On 6th April. XR809 and XV109 were flown in formation to their final landing at Bruntingthorpe. The aircraft will be stripped of all usable spares and then be reduced for scrap under a contract with GJD Services to remove the VC10 fleet from service over the next few years. It is hoped that some of these magnificent British aircraft can be preserved for display but as yet there are no plans to raise money for the “VC10 To The Sky” appeal!

Once more it is time to book your place at the 101 Sqn Association Reunion in the Lincoln Assembly Rooms on Saturday 4th September 2010. The day will begin with the meet and greet coffee morning from 1030 with displays of the memorabilia from 101 Sqn and a chance to purchase tee-shirts and badges from the 101 Sqn shop. Lunch is served from 1215 and will be followed by our Annual General Meeting at 1330. This year sees a new chairman and a number of changes on the committee as well as some exciting proposals for the Association and its constitution. Once all the reports of both the Squadron and the Association’s progress in the past year are presented at the AGM there will be a chance for everyone to enjoy a walk around the historic Lincoln Cathedral district and grab a spot of tea before we get ready for the grand reunion dinner. This will start in the bar at 1845 and all should be seated by 1915. We are very excited to have invited Martin Withers, ex-101 Sqn pilot who flew the first Vulcan “Blackbuck” bombing raid on Port Stanley airfield in 1982, who has agreed to be our speaker at the dinner, subject to his commitments flying the last Vulcan at air displays.We will also have our usual raffle and you can pre-order tickets with your attendance application form.Our remembrance service and memorial parade will take place at Ludford Magna on Sunday 4th September. Why not have lunch at the White Hart before seeing the official unveiling of the new site for the memorial plaque at 1340. The Service will start as usual at 1400 with the parade afterwards at about 1500. The Reunion weekend will finish with tea in the Ludford Village Hall and a flypast by the BBMF Avro Lancaster at a time to be detailed on the day.The great news is that we have once again decided to keep the cost of Saturday’s Reunion lunch and dinner the same as it has been since 2007, £6 for lunch and £24 for a full four course dinner. The reunion dinner has always been a successful and enjoyable night and we look forward to seeing you all there again.

Reunion 2010 Vulcan Saved

for 50th BirthdayDuring this Spring it looked as if we would never see the Vulcan fly again as the project was within days of folding for lack of funding and sponsorship for 2010. Then a last minute anonymous donation of over £400,000 guaranteed that XH558 would once again display during this summer’s air show season. This means that the aircraft can return to the skies to celebrate its 50th birthday on the 25th May 2010. This Vulcan’s first test flight took place in 1960 but the annual costs of keeping the V-Bomber in the air is now almost £2,500,000 and the yearly struggle for funding continues to plague the project’s future. Finding qualified pilots for the Vulcan must have presented a problem but ex-101 Sqn Vulcan captain Martin Withers took over from Dave Thomas and led the small aircrew team through the 2009 season. We hope he will be able to be our guest of honour at this year’s 101 Sqn Association Reunion Dinner in Lincoln.As yet there are no details of the air displays that XH558 will be appearing at in 2010, but it is hoped that it might be able to make an appearance at the Brize Norton families day on Saturday the 12th June. With 101 Sqn’s long history of service with the Vulcan we will keep the membership informed of XH558s progress and flying during the 2010 season.

Who Are These Ludford Girls?Dear Gary, Here is a copy of a photo I found among some old papers! This was taken towards the end of 1944 at Ludford. Can anyone identify the girls in it? Keep up the good work, see you on the 12th June with luck!! Tony Neve, (SDO on Lancaster SR-V, Sept-Nov 1944.)

Anyone recognise an old flame?

Bomber Command Memorial Objectors!Hi Gary, The Bomber Command Memorial looks pretty good eh? Typical that some do gooders feel they need to voice their opinion. Anyway I am sure sense will prevail and we will all benefit from a fine memorial to the gallant men (and women) that served and died in Bomber Command. See you in September,Andy Instrell

Hello Gary: Regards your headline article, even just 200 of the lunatic fringe are too many! Do you know the proposed date for the dedication of this memorial? Of interest to our friends on 101 Sqn, I met the parents of a current 101 Sqn VC10 pilot on a cruise ship last month. What an extraordinary coincidence! Anyway, we are in touch and he has invited me to visit Brize Norton. I have some Pound Notes I would like to donate to the Bomber Command Memorial. May I send them to you for forwarding? I would really like to attend the dedication with my Flight Engineer, Ralph Freemen, who I hope will be fit enough to be there with me.God Bless. Bob Reynolds, Texas USA.

Hi Bob, still no date for the BCM dedication but they hope it will be finished in 2011, so watch this space.

Any donations towards the memorial can be sent to our Association Treasurer, Paul Taylor, 8 Surrey Close, Stockingford, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV10 8LN, UK.

Matters Letters New Home For Harry QuickDear Gary, 101 Matters has reached me via my old address so you may not have received my new one. I moved to Wexford House in June 2009 and found a very happy home where I am well looked after by a full and a part time warden, both very good. The accommodation has a bedsit and en-suite bathroom ( a great improvement on a Nissen Hut) with all meals provided for eight people, seven in residence at the moment so there is a vacancy if you want one! (a weak joke) All are various ex-RAF types. Sorry about the writing but now at 89, knocking on the door of 90 it is not as easy as it was. Kind Regards, Harry Quick.Always good to hear from you, Harry, and I will make sure we get you new address in the database.

Canadian Bomber Command Memorial

Hi, Gary!Interesting news about the U.K. Bomber Command Memorial. I'm confident that the fringe protesters can't stop it!I thought you would be interested in knowing that the Nanton Lancaster Society Air Museum in Alberta, Canada, officially changes its name on May 8 to Bomber Command Museum of Canada. I was there a few days ago and saw that the new signage is already up. The Lancaster had been rolled out so that a squadron of air cadets could clean the museum and the aircraft, and wash the floor.As Nanton is also the home of Canada's Bomber Command Memorial, it is an appropriate and fitting name change for the museum.Cheers, John Chalmers, Canada.

Canadians beat us to it again!

Please keep your letters and emails coming in. I am always looking for member’s news and anecdotes and will try to print any interesting pictures of good quality. I look forward to hearing from you soon. GW

King Air to Star at Brize Norton Family Day!

Forget the Vulcan, the VC10 and (dare I say it) the Lancaster. The undisputed star attraction at the Brize Norton Family Day on Saturday 12th June has got to be the King Air B200 of 45 (R) Sqn based at RAFC Cranwell. This small but perfectly formed twin turboprop should thrill the crowds as it swoops and dives and then reverses down the runway to tumultuous applause. Famously referred to as the RAF’s “white van of the skies” the display King Air should be accompanied by the “static” aircraft flown by award winning static display pilot (its true!) Gary W8man and members of the 101 Sqn Association will be allowed exclusive access to the cabin and cockpit for only a trifling admittance fee! To see this amazing aircraft and meet its handsome captain and also see several other things at the Brize Norton Families Day including 101 Sqn’s own hospitality area, our readers should contact Flt Lt John Dainty, 101 Sqn, RAF Brize Norton, Carterton, Oxon, OX18 3LX, ASAP! Or call 01993 896002 for further details.

Membership NewsWe are pleased to welcome two new full members:Albert Boseley served with the Squadron at Ludford Magna from 1943 to 1945 as an LAC.David Bromley was an aircraft captain with the Squadron at Waddington from Jan 1962 to May 1965.A few members sent me cheques for the Bomber Command Memorial Fund which I am unable to bank, however I have passed these on to treasurer Paul Taylor and he will see that they reach the appeal. Unfortunately, because of how my database is set up you will not receive an individual acknowledgment for these donations so please accept my thanks for your generosity in continuing to support this very worthwhile cause. I’m sure Paul will report on Memorial Fund donations in due course.I am saddened to report the deaths of 8 members and veterans of 101 Sqn (see the obituaries).Regards, Phil Webb.

Star For Jon AgerMay we offer hearty congratulations to RAF Brize Norton’s station commander and ex-101 Sqn Boss, Gp Capt Jon Ager on his forthcoming promotion to Air Commodore and appointment as Air Officer Air Transport and Air to Air Refuelling. Jon has just clocked up 3000 hours in the VC10 and is seen here being congratulated by OC 101 Sqn Wg Cdr Steve Lushington. Some of those hours may have been gained on an enforced 4 day stopover in Belfast with a 101 Sqn VC10 when he was diverted from Brize due to snow last winter! Jon also jumped from a perfectly serviceable aircraft on the 7th May, fortunately with a parachute, and managed to raise over £2700 for “Help for Heroes.” I am sure everyone will want to wish Jon, and his wife Landi, the very best for their move from Brize and we hope to see you both at the reunion in September (hint).

New 101 Sqn Liaison Officer

Flt Lt Harry Stewart moves on from co-pilot to VC10 captaincy with 101 Sqn having been our stalwart Association Liaison officer since winter 2007. His support of all our events over the past 3 years has been outstanding and we wish him every success in the future. Taking over this important function is Flt Lt John Dainty, who has already attended his first Association committee meeting at Brize and was the 101 Sqn Standard bearer at Ludford last year. I am sure you will all welcome John to the Association family and look forward to meeting him at the reunion.

ObituariesWe are saddened to record the deaths of our following

members and 101 Sqn veterans:

Stanley W Jones. Sadly we wish to report the passing of Stanley W Jones last year on 7th May 2009. Born in London in 1925, in 1945 Stan was a Wireless Operator on 101 Sqn with the Canadian Lancaster crew captained by F/S Robert Upcott DFM. On the morning of the 29th April 1945 Stan flew with the Australian Collett’s crew on a food drop to the Hague, before any treaty was agreed with the German occupying forces. The success of this operation was the signal for the beginning of Operation Manna later that day. Stan emigrated to Canada in 1982, settling in Windsor, Ontario. Stan joined the 101 Sqn Association in 1980. He is greatly missed by his wife, Helen, ten step-grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren and all his many friends.

Robert Morrin Carson. We regret to inform you that Robert Carson passed away in Canada on 13th November 2009. He served as a Lancaster navigator on 101 Sqn in 1945 and was involved in the Operation Dodge repatriation flights to Italy. Robert joined the 101 Sqn Association in 1995. Our condolences go to his son, Bob, and family.

George Bates Williams. We regret to report the passing of George Bates on 5th December 2009 after a short illness. Born and raised in Alberta, Canada, George served as a rear gunner on 101 Sqn Lancasters from June to November 1944 on Flt Lt F G James’ crew. After the war he returned to Canada and worked in construction, spending three years in the Arctic helping build the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line of radar stations. George joined the 101 Sqn Association in 1990. Our deepest condolences go to all his family and friends.

William Franklin Newmarch. We are sad to report the death of Bill Newmarch on the 29th December 2009 at the age of 90. Bill served with 101 Sqn at West Raynham between 1939 and 1941 as an engine fitter and occasional drogue operator on Fairey Battle target tugs used by the squadron. Bill joined the Association in 1986 and was a regular attender and quite a character at our reunions. He will be greatly missed by his many friends. Our condolences go to his family.

Adrian Montague Marks. We were very sad to hear that Adrian Marks passed away in Australia on the 18th February 2010, aged 88. Adrian served in the RAAF on 101 Sqn as a Special Operator on Ken Fillingham’s crew between March and July 1944. He flew on the Nuremburg and Mailly raids and also on the D-Day Operation Taxable special mission. He left the RAAF in 1945 as a Flg Off. He joined the 101 Sqn Association in 1980 and with his wife Barbara

Robert Whiteford. We are greatly saddened to report the passing of Bob Whiteford on the 14th April 2010 at the age of 89. Bob served with the RAF in the Western Desert before becoming aircrew and joined 101 Sqn as a Wireless Operator on the Lancaster crew of Sqn Ldr Gundry-White from November 1944 to January 1945. When his captain was promoted the crew were broken up and used as spares. Bob found himself replacing a sick W/Op on Plt Off Harrison’s crew for a raid against Mannheim on the 1st February 1945. Tragically their bomber was involved in a mid-air collision with another 101 Sqn Lancaster over France, which killed everyone but Harrison and Bob. Bob remembered falling without his parachute but grabbed a pack as it went past him, clipped it on and pulled the handle. He landed with no boots and shredded trousers behind enemy lines but was picked up by advancing American GIs They gave him new boots and trousers and reunited him with his pilot before both were repatriated to England in a Dakota. Bob and his wife Olive, came across the 101 Sqn Association after a visit to Lincoln Cathedral and Ludford Magna. A chance meeting with a Ludford villager led to a teacher who let them into the church where Bob was visibly moved by the memorial roll of honour with the names of his last crew. He joined the Association and made contact with another old crewmate Alan Jeffcoat, attending a number of reunions together. Bob has been in failing health for the past few years but Olive drove him down for the 2009 Reunion which Bob declared was his best ever. Donations at Bob’s funeral raised £330 for the Bomber Command Memorial. Our very deepest condolences go to Olive, their son, James and his wife Tracey and Bob’s grandsons Sean and Connor.

Lyle Franklin James DFC. We are sad to report the passing of Canadian Lyle James on the 7th May 2010 at the age of 93. Lyle enlisted in the RCAF in 1941, graduated as a pilot in 1943 and served with 101 Sqn at Ludford Magna as a Lancaster captain from September to December 1944. He was awarded the DFC for leading his crew through a tour of 32 Ops, in 10 of which his Lancaster was damaged by flak or fighters. After the war he returned to the town of his birth and was a well respected member of his community in Sarnia, Ontario. Our deepest condolences go to his family and friends.

We Will Remember Them

101 Are Back In Theatre!This time last year we announced that 101 Sqn was ending its unique record of 19 years deployed service in the Middle East and their VC10s were returning from Qatar to the UK. How wrong we were! Barely a month had passed before 101 Squadron VC10s were detached to Muscat International Airport in Oman to provide AAR support to aircraft engaged in the continuing HERRICK operations over Afghanistan. Muscat is very different to Al Udeid as it is an international airport with the military operations centred on a small area on the ‘dark side’ of the airfield. With the positive and flexible attitude of the support personnel there, who were prepared to go to considerable trouble to help the new arrivals, 101 was soon up to speed and in the initial two months deployment transferred over 1,000 tonnes of fuel to 235 fast jets. The VC10s maintained a 100% serviceability despite temperatures reaching over 40℃ and flying 2000 nm round trips to their towlines over Afghanistan. After another brief period of respite 101 Sqn returned to Oman at the start of 2010 and it soon became apparent that this could, once again, become a permanent deployed presence in the Gulf region. In February 2010, the launch of the Op MOSHTARAK allied offensive brought a new challenge for the Squadron. Air support for Op MOSHTARAK was a key component; not only were large numbers of support helicopter assets utilised, but also a greater number of fast-jet sorties were flown. The RAF has a high profile detachment of Tornado GR4s based in Kandahar, alongside the numerous probe-equipped aircraft of the US Navy, the French

Armée de l’Air, and the Italian Air Force, all of which can be supported by 101 Sqn’s VC10s. Initially the pace of the operation was relatively slow, with the Squadron flying only one sortie per day, as per their normal routine at Muscat. However the tempo picked up as the Operation progressed into its second week, and the tankers, having given away significant amounts of fuel, were frequently returning at, or just above, minimums. The bulk of the ‘trade’ was from F/A-18, Hornets and the newer, larger and more capable “Super Hornets” from the US Navy carrier group in the Indian Ocean. Most sorties involved at least one visit from the Hornets, hunting in pairs. Both these jets, and the RAF Tornado GR4s, were heavily tasked supporting a number of “Troops in Contact” (TIC) engagements as Op MOSHTARAK progressed. Also refuelled were the

US Navy’s EA-6B Prowlers, the Armée de l’Air’s Mirages, and the Italian AMX aircraft, which presented its own challenges due to its low speed being refuelled by a heavy VC10 tanker. Having two aircraft in theatre also allowed the possibility of mutual air-refuelling. This permitted the VC10s to consolidate their fuel and allow one to remain much longer on task to refuel the fast jets supporting the troops on the ground. The squadron flew 38 sorties during February 2010, with 25 of these during the main two periods of the Op

MOSHTARAK offensive. Just how long 101 Squadron will remain in Oman remains to be seen, but its VC10s will continue to provide vital AAR support to the Afghanistan theatre air assets in the finest traditions of the service and the 101’s long and proud operational history. Now on their 21st year of operations “East of Suez” it looks like 101 Sqn are well and truly back in the thick of it!
