CREWS AND LOSSES for Flying Fortress (model unknown) SR388 (2 June 1944)
BU-H
Born 3 December 1923
Born in Northampton, England
Ronald
joined the RAF in 1942 and completed two tours of operations, firstly with
No.90 Squadron as a mid upper gunner on Stirling Bombers in the crew of
Bill Day, DFC. He then moved to No. 214 Squadron in 1944 where he flew on
B-17 Flying Fortresses as part of 100 Group special countermeasures operations.
At the end of the war he was posted to the Dutch East Indies where he helped
with the release of prisoners of war and internees held by the Japanese
in the prison camps of Java. After this he left the RAF and returned to
Northampton, working in the commercial side of engineering and owning a
transport motel. He then fulfilled his lifelong ambition of owning a bookshop
which he ran with his son Steve.
He was a keen amateur historian and much of his retirement was spent writing.
He collected a great deal of information about the squadron with the help
of Flt/Lt David Rurherford-Dickson, whose wife, Rosaleen organised the material
including many photographs into a book that was named 'Avenging in the Shadows',published
in 1989, with Ron 'Jimmy' James listed as the author.
Ronald also wrote four other books which he was not able to publish before
his death. Fortunately his daughter, Elizabeth, published these for him
in 2013 and they are now available from Amazon. One book entitled 'I Was
One of the Brylcreem Boys' is an autobiography of his experiences in the
RAF and it refers to the time he spent in No. 214 Squadron.
He died on 9 April 1995.

NOTE: Marsh arrived at the 214, threw his kit on his bunk, climbed into a Wellington for his first Op and never came back, he spent the entire rest of the war in a German prison camp. As a result, having few friends or shared experiences (other than his pilot) he went the entire rest of his life feeling like an outsider to the Squadron. Hardly surprising considering he was four years imprisoned and mere days on the squadron. He of course was not alone and this is why so many turned to the POW Associations, it was with other POW's they felt a bond and it was all they had.
How fitting it is then that after so many decades has passed that Marsh would come to be founder of the 214 Squadron web site.
Flt/Lt
Marshall Angus Johnson R68074 Born in St. Thomas Ontario January 1, 1921
The only son of Mr & Mrs Angus Johnson. Member of the Elgin Regiment prior
to enlisting in the RAF. Graduated from the Fingal Bombing and Gunnery school
on Mar 15 1941.
July 14,
1941 While at 10,000 feet over the city of Bremen in Germany, BU-G was attacked
by a german fighter aircraft who came from above and to the side. According
to pilot Crampton, Marsh who was rear gunner at the time, calmly announced
over the intercom, as if he were talking about the weather, "down the
phones, we are under attack" and promptly sent up a hail of gun fire
to meet his attacker. The German fighter raked the forward section of BU-G
killing their second pilot Jenkins and the aircraft immediately exploded in
flames. The rest of the crew managed to bale out safely with only minor injuries
but Sgt Kent's chute caught and tangled on the tail of the flaming aircraft
and he was pulled down with it to his death. All of the surviving members
were captured by the germans, two of whom were sent to a german hospital and
the rest off to prison camp where they spent the rest of the war.

Reginald Jeffcock DFM
Born in Sheffield on April 3 1923, Mr Jeffcock served with distinction during the Second World War in the RAF. He completed 48 operations over enemy territory, including 21 missions to heavily defended Berlin, flying as a bomb-aimer in Lancaster bombers in 49 Squadron, 15 Group and, following a period as a bombing instructor, as a radar counter measures operator in B17 Flying Fortresses on special operations with 214 Squadron, 100 Group. For his dedicated service he was presented with the Distinguished Flying Medal, on the morning of VE Day, by King George VI at Buckingham Palace.
Reginald and his crew under BU-X
(BU-X was recently immortalized by Corgi, who produced a detailed model of the aircraft)
F/Lt Lucas's crew as recorded on their first 5 ops entries listed in the ORB seem to give the
crew as:-
F/Lt J W Lucas
F/Lt W H Taylor
F/O N W Manners
F/Sgt R Jeffcock
W/O S C Hopkins
Sgt W C Heley (spelt Healey in the first entry but Heley in the next four)
F/Sgt J Parkinson
Sgt C W Pearson
Sgt J Burchell
This crew seems to be listed consistently in this order in the ORB, although it doesn't give their individual crew functions. HOWEVER, the tenth crew member (possibly the jamming equipment Special Operator?) changed a bit over the first 5 ops.
- Firstly it was Sgt J S Reid (1st op);
- then F/O W E Gronau RCAF (2nd op);
- then Sgt C Kerr (next 3 ops).
It may be that this was how the crew settled down to be (ie with Kerr).
Andrew, Reginalds son, was told by his father that he was the Special Operator during his tour on this aircraft. His job was to jam German ground control/night fighter communications.
Research

Reginald
inspecting a Lancaster at RAF Coningsby 1985
(This
is the closest Reg has been to a Lanc since the end of the war, I swear by
that mischievous smile and sparkle in his eye he is seriously thinking about
sneaking off with it for a spin around the block. I trust they don't leave
the keys in the ignition.)
After the war he made a successful career as a sales engineer. A resident in Chapel since 1981 he is survived by his wife Jessie, brother Donald, sons Timothy, Andrew and Steven and granddaughter Emma. Mr Jeffcock was a keen and gifted artist, capable of fine works in water-colour, oils and pastels and was a founder-member of Buxton Arts Society. A tireless worker for local causes he was, for several years a Parish councilor for Chapel-en-le-Frith. He was a founder-member of the Chapel-en-le-Frith Amenity Society and served on the Carnival Committee for many years. He used his talents to the full and produced, for the Amenity Society, the fine murals on display in Town End's bus shelter. Recently he was instrumental in the development of the Hearse House as Chapel's Tourist Information Centre, a project which gave him much satisfaction.
The
pictures and information regarding Reginald was obtained from http://www.raf-air-bomber.com/
with kind permission from Reginald's son, Andrew. I highly recommend a visit
to Andrews site, not only is he a professional web site designer, he is also
a gifted writer. The site ( a tribute and memorial to Reginald) contains numerous
historical photographs and documents, I was particularly moved by the
photo's of Reginalds visit to RAF Coningsby in his senior years. I won't say
more as I would like you all to visit Reg at his home site. I would however,
like to leave the reader with a couple of paragraphs from Andrews correspondence
to me as it is sobering food for thought and I couldn't agree more.
.............He
was proud of his RAF service but I think what he had been through sat heavy
on him at times. I find it incredulous that he had completed a war, been promoted
to the highest non-commissioned rank in the RAF and had won the DFM by his
22nd birthday. I wonder how many youths today could have done what was expected
of my father and millions, on all sides, like him during that conflict.
............The
conditions that my father and your friends faced must have been truly terrible
and yet they came through it without the aid of counselors and therapy ...
it makes you wonder doesn't it!
Amen!

WO Leonard Alfred Johnson DFC
WO Leonard Alfred Johnson DFC,
R78489, Royal Canadian Air Force, Nationality : American
Born in St Paul, Minnesota, USA
Born in 1914. He was a newsman in Minnesota.
Enlisted in Toronto, 24 October 1941. Trained at No.1 ITS, No.7 EFTS, and
No.2 SFTS.
One night in July 1942, Warrant Officer Johnson and Sergeants Agg and McGowen
were captain and air gunners respectively of an aircraft detailed to attack
Saarbrucken. Before the target was reached the aircraft was engaged by a
Messerschmitt 110. Sergeants Agg and McGowen met several attacks with resolute
fire and succeeded in destroying the attacker. The skillful airmanship of
Warrant Officer Johnson contributed materially to this success.
On another occasion in August 1942, this aircrew were detailed to attack
Nuremberg. On the outward flight, whilst still a considerable distance from
the target, their aircraft was intercepted by an enemy fighter. Skilful
maneuvering by Warrant Officer Johnson enabled his gunners to deliver their
fire from a favourable position and destroy the attacker. Despite damage
sustained to his aircraft,
Warrant Officer Johnson continued his mission, located his target and bombed
it. These airmen have displayed praiseworthy determination to achieve their
purposes.
DFC Award effective 8 September 1942 as per London Gazette dated 29 September
1942 and AFRO 1653/42 dated 16 October 1942.

Obituary : JENNINGS, Reverend Douglas R. DFC - 80, passed away suddenly
at home in Melville Gardens, Halifax, the evening of November 24, 2002.
. Following a challenging childhood helping take care of his mother and
younger sister during the Great Depression in Cleveland, Ohio, Doug enlisted
with the RCAF and served overseas during the Second World War as a warrant
officer with RAF's Bomber Command covert operations. He was before being
shot down and wounded over occupied Holland, escaping custody and returning
to Allied lines with the help of the Dutch and Belgian undergrounds, thus
earning his Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC), which he modestly referred
to as the EGO (Everybody Got One). After the war, he studied at Dalhousie
University and Pine Hill Divinity Hall before being ordained at St. Matthew's
United Church, Halifax and moving to Maitland, to serve for a couple of
years as Minister at the United Church there. Doug moved his ministry to
India for 17 years with his late wife, Betty and their four children; as
an evangelist, director of a vocational/residential school, then an agricultural
advisor. He returned to Canada in the early 1970s to serve United Church
of Canada congregations in Bayfield, N.B., Amherst, N.S. and Peticodiac,
N.B. before retiring to live in Truro with his second wife, Enid (Wood)
Jennings, where they operated the Lonely Planet Guide internationally-rated
Blue House Inn for a number of years before retiring once more to Halifax.
Doug loved theology, motorcycles, cars, keeping up with current events,
tennis, photography and his extended family of kin and old and new friends.
Doug will always be remembered by those who knew him as striving against
the traces of conformity, standing up for his beliefs, loving a good conversation
and having the soft touch for the underdog that enabled him to befriend
the downtrodden and kings with the same frank interest. He was predeceased
by his mother and father; sister, Mary (Kaulback); wife, Betty June (Blakney).
He is mourned by his wife, Enid; sons, David, Halifax; Andrew, Shediac,
N.B.; Christopher, Vancouver, B.C.; daughter, Rebecca, Perth, Australia,
as well as by grandchildren, Aine, Ariadne, Eli, Austin and Walker. Also
surviving are stepsons, Leslie Wood, Charlottetown; David Wood, Amherst;
stepdaughters, Margaret Wood, Halifax; June Julian, Porters Lake. Memorial
donations may be made to the United Church World Missions and Service Fund
or to The Salvation Army. Visiting 7-9 p.m. today, funeral 2 p.m. Thursday,
November 28, both in Riverside United Church, Elmsvale, Rev. Marjory Cornelius
officiating. Interment in Riverside Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to
Arimathea Funeral Co-op, Upper Musquodoboit. Condolences : Andrewxxx@computing-resources.com
