Cemetery – 63 Halifaxes from 426, 431, 432, and 434 squadrons were joined by 37 Lancasters from 408, 419, and 428 squadrons on an attack of the oil plant at Sterkrade-Holten. The crews were over the target between 17,000 and 20,000 feet, releasing 878,000 lbs of high explosives through thick cloud. This attack wasn’t very successful due to the cloud cover and the fact that the German fighter controller had his fighters orbit a beacon not far from the flight path. Many crews failed to return for that reason. Halifax LK 879 was airborne 2306 16Jun44 from Linton-on-Ouse. It crashed in the sea off the Dutch coast, cause unknown. All are buried in various Dutch cemeteries. The crew were: P/O J.F.E.Tabor; Sgt F.E.McQueen; P/O G.R.G.Shannon; Sgt R.E.Niles; Sgt H.Doggett; P/O W.D.Carson; P/O L.G.Hill. (http://6grouprcaf.com)
