In my last post I mentioned the Commonwealth War Grave we visited in La Bussiére. The information I had was that the aircraft shot down was a Lancaster Bomber but was in fact a Sterling bomber.
If you are interested in reading about what happened that day here is a link to the full story.

Thanks Karen, really interesting. I knew a relative who completed a tour on the Sterling, it was a terrible aircraft. He later flew another tour on the Lancaster. Survived the war and was fascinating to talk too.
