Flight Lt G B White (Service Nº 161409) of 189 Sqn, was killed when Avro Lancaster I PB691 CA-O was lost on return from a mission to Politz, Poland. It crashed into high ground near Mandel, Norway, near a local Norwegian resistance base. The resistance decided to dismantle the Lancaster and hide it – the Germans had no idea a bomber had crashed. The seven crew were buried in marshland near the crash site, and were re-interred in Aseral Churchyard in 1945.
Also killed was F/Sgt Norman Summers of Sunderland
