Albert John Naisbit (170013)
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve - 107 Sqdn.
6 January 1944 , aged 22
Stainton (Ss. Peter And Paul) Churchyard
Douglas Boston bomber BZ 387, airborne from RAF Hartford Bridge, Hampshire. participated in a Squadron medium altitude attack on a target in Northern France. BZ387 was leading Box No 2 of the Squadron, as the aircraft crossed the enemy coast inwards, heavy flak enemy fire concentrated on No 2 Box and BZ387 was hit. However ‘L for Love’continued her position in Box No 2 all the way to the target and back to base. Following the break up L for Love was seen to circuit the drome with the right propeller feathered and that was the first indication of trouble with the aircraft. It appeared likely that the controls were damaged as BZ387 commenced to turn slowly to starboard, the rate of bank increased, the live engine took charge, the aircraft winged over and nosed down going into a dive and hit the ground. All the crew were killed.
