June 1943 - 161 Squadron - Halifax DG406 - MA-V
Reported lost without trace, possibly in the English Channel. Operation
PHYSICIAN 32, France.
Information
received from Francis Suttill: "My father was Major Francis
SUTTILL, organiser of the Physician circuit in France. I have been
researching all the parachute operations he organised and recently
found some more information about Operation Physician 32/Charlotte
- the latter presumably being an agent going to another circuit.
On TNA file AIR 27/1068, there is a note which says "Later
news received from a secret source to the effect that aircraft fitting
the description of DG406 was seen to be shot down in flames by ground
flak at a position in the vicinity of Beauvais which was near his
second pinpoint. Reported that first operation had been carried
out successfully."
Agents were usually taken to their drop point before containers
were dropped so it looks as though Charlotte dropped successfully.
I do not know whether the second part of the operation delivering
containers to a group near Beauvais was completed before the aircraft
was shot down.
At least something was achieved." |

Note
from Ian Yuille:
Halifax
JD180 - NF-O 138 Squadron. This aircraft and its crew are
commemorated in a small display in the Résistance Museum
near Thônes, just below the plateau des Glières.
The museum is on the Thônes to Annecy road. We visited
the cemetery at Meythet where Sydney Congdon and Francis Pollard
are buried. Meythet is a suburb of Annecy and quite difficult
to find an access from the motorway. I understand that the
remaining four crew members were originally buried at Meythet
but due to pressures on the small cemetery they were move
to their present location. The pilot, Squadron Leader Griffiths,
survived and his uniform is the centre of the display on SOE
operations to help the Résistance. |
