On 2 November 1944 a crew of seven on board a Lancaster bomber had just commenced their return journey after an operation to Dusseldorf when they were attacked by an enemy aircraft. All of the crew members bailed out, however, only five survived. The pilot, Flying Officer Leslie Landridge and Rear Gunner, Flight Sergeant William John Lemin died, as they were too low for their parachutes to open properly. Both men are buried in Hotton War Cemetery.
