Newspaper Clipping – Photo from The Toronto Star, June 22, 1945, page 13 Lancaster JB-473 was one of four No. 49 (RAF) Squadron Lancasters lost on the night of 18/19 July 1944 when a total of 253 Lancasters of RAF 1, 3, 5 and 8 groups attacked railway junctions at Aulnoye and Revigny. Both targets were hit but the No 5 Group raid to Revigny was caught by German fighters and 24 Lancasters were shot down, nearly 22 per cent of the Lancasters involved. P/O Rammage was the only crew member of JB473 who was killed; seven RAF and RCAF crew members survived the crash (see 'Beware of the Dog at War' Jon Ward. 49 Sqdn history).
