    • Louvain May 12/13th 1944:
      The yards at Louvain in Belgium on this night were the scene of the loss of two of 419’s Lancasters even though the opposition was considered to be moderate. Taking off at 2155 and heading out to the target the crew and aircraft were shot down near Sint-Genesius-Rode which was 12 km S of Brussels. None of this very experienced crew survived.

      The crew of VR-X had P/O Edwards and F/O Campbell who were a quarter of a way through their tours while the other airmen were on their second or third operation.
