Document – My father Philip Woodhead (pilot) joined sergeants, Rogers, Chrisp and Smale to form a new Hampden crew on 28 May 1941, training at 16OTU. They transferred to 144 Squadron 19 July 1941. On their third operation 30/31 July my father flew as navigator, to gain operational experience, with Sgt Freeman as first pilot. His own crew, Sergeants Rogers, Chrisp and Smale, flew with Sgt Harvey as their pilot, in Hampden AE252. Sgt Rogers and the other members of the crew were killed when AE252 crashed near Cambrai (Nord), northern France. Possibly due to icing conditions.
