                  In addition to the difficult and arduous tasks the ground crews were expected to
                               perform, their duties were not without its dangers either.



                The following information and images were supplied by Mrs Ann Heydon whose late
                  Father, Fred Cooper, then aged 32, was a member of 49 Squadron ground crew.
                 Fred was seriously injured removing the wheel chocks from a departing Lancaster
                    and as a result of his injuries was invalided out of service, Fred made a good
                recovery from his injuries. The photographs and sketches are believed to have been
                       taken at Scampton with the accident it is believed, to have happened at
                                   Fiskerton in 1943. No other details are available.
