Description
English: An Avro Lancaster Mk III of No. 49 Squadron RAF is guided to its dispersal point at Fiskerton, Lincolnshire, after returning from a raid on Berlin, 22 November 1943.
A member of the ground crew, illuminated by a lamp shining from the bomb-aimer's position, guides Avro Lancaster B Mark III, JB362 'EA-D', ("D for Donald") of No. 49 Squadron RAF to its dispersal point at Fiskerton, Lincolnshire, after returning from the greatest and most destructive raid mounted on Berlin to date (22/23 November 1943); the main weight of the raid falling in the centre and south of the city with extensive damage both to housing and to industrial premises. Warrant Officer H Blunt and his crew arrived safely back at their dispersal a few minutes before midnight on 22 November, but were shot down and killed in "D for Donald" when returning from their next visit to Berlin, Germany on 27 November 1943.
