My wifes uncle, Eric Cartwright, was lost with all crew on 24th July 1942 flying EM N (for Nuts) after being shot down in the North Sea off Holland by Sayn-Witgenstein flying A JU88.
Only one body was recovered, being washed up at Ijmuiden some months later and is buried in Amsterdam cemetary.

This was a device designed for reduction of turbulence for future airliner passengers, a gust alleviation system, as I've seen it described, although I haven't the faintest idea how it works. The work was done in 1951 by Boulton Paul on Lancaster III ME540, which, uniquely was still fitted with all its turret armament despite having been relegated to a trials role and the war having been over for over five years. Its war weary status is notable, with what looks like nose art having been painted over or removed under the cockpit.

No, no, no !
The "pointy thing" on the nose was an experimental fitting, designed to catch and recover P-39s that were falling out of the sky, backwards, due to CoG issues ............................
