on the night of 4th nov 1944, handley page halifax3, lv936 took off from RAF driffield to attack Bochum in germany, whilst over the target the aircraft was hit by flak, F/L Herman (pilot) was very lucky as the aircraft blew up in the air before he could put on his parachute, as he headed towards the ground without a chute he bumped into F/S Vivash ( MID UPPER GUNNER ) and grabbed hold of his legs, both then made a safe landing to become PoW's. crew= pilot - f/l j herman - p.o.w bomb aimer - p/o underwood - k.i.a navagator - f/o nicholson - k.i.a wireless op' - p/o duncan - k.i.a engineer - sgt knot - p.o.w mid upper turret - p/o vivash - p.o.w tail turret - p/o wilson - k.i.a
