466 Squadron

RAF Driffield and RAF Leconfield, 1942 - 1945
 

Hi, my name is John and welcome to my web site. The idea behind this site was initially to remember seven men (in LV827 ) amongst many thousands in WW2 who believed in freedom and peace and paid the ultimate cost. This quest was started after finding that a distant relative of mine was on-board this aircraft when it was lost.

Since starting this site I have included :-

All the aircraft who have lost one or more crew members,

Memorial Page for all those that died whilst serving with the Squadron and a picture of the headstone where available,

A - Z listing of ALL aircrew members who were mentioned in the 466 Squadron Operations Record Book,

List of all the missions that the squadron were involved in,

These can be accessed from the links below.
