These wonderful sketches entitled: "Lancaster C for Charlie" were supplied by Andrew Macdonald whose Great-Uncle, F/L Charles Dunnet RAFVR was the Pilot.

C for Charlie was ED497, a 49Sqn "A" flight Lancaster based at Fiskerton in 1943. Pilot and crew, Sgt.R.F.Middlebrook; Sgt. R.G. Smith; Sgt. W.A. Dutton; Sgt. M.F. Haley; P/O C.A. Edwards & Sgt. R.M.W. Selby-Lowndes,  were posted to Fiskerton on May 24th 1943 and were lost just three-weeks later when on 17th June 1943 they were shot down by a German night-fighter when returning from Cologne. All the crew were killed.

Andrew has commissioned an artist to capture for all time his Great-Uncle's Lancaster as a tribute to him, his crew and the other 55,000 Bomber Command aircrew who lost their lives during the years 1939 to 1945.

Many thanks to the families of the above crew members for allowing their images to be placed on this page.
