Avro Lancaster B I ME798

[Dmcrann]

I am not sure if this is the place to ask but I am looking for pictures of or similar to the Avro Lancaster BI ME798 that went down in June of 1944. I would also love to see photo(s) of the crew of they are out there somewhere.

I am interested in pictures for well... special reasons but I would also like to build an accurate model of the ME798 VN-Z with correct markings etc.

Thank you in advance Daniel McRann

Hi,

I saw your post and wondered if you ever did find any info you were after - and specifically wondered if you were after info about Peter Mcrann from ME798?

Desmond here. Thanks so much for messaging me. The father of RAF Sgt Peter McRann, also called Peter, was my mother's uncle. My maternal grandfather Patrick McRann was a brother of Peter McRann Senior. So RAF Sgt Peter McRann was my mother's first cousin. I am very interested in learning more about him, such as why he may have joined the RAF. And a photo of him or indeed any further information would be most welcome! Thanks.

Hi! I think those names all check out - if it's the same Peter (junior) then my own Grandfather was also in the RAF as a tail-end Charlie in Lancasters.
