The doomed Halifax started its final dive, only John Loban got out alive.

Following on comments about my 11.11. post, I’ve edited and improved the story that inspired the ‘Halifax’ painting, enjoy page https://www.frickers.co.uk/art/landscape/aviation/the-loss-of-a-new-handley-page-halifax/halifax-further-reading/
My principal sources were :
* the eye witness account of Mr. J. Loban, former flight sergeant and navigator,
* Aircraft Movements card DK170
* Combat Report; Obtt. P.Barte-uffz, night fighter squadron 1
* “Halifax, An Illustrated history of a Classic World”.
