PATRICK OTTER PROFILES THE AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL’S W4783, THE “LANC THAT’LL ALWAYS GET YOU HOME”
George’s story began with the formation of 460 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force at Molesworth, then in Northamptonshire, in November 1941. Soon afterwards the unit moved to the new airfield at Breighton, just east of Selby, on January 4, 1942. Equipped with Wellington IVs, 460 was led by the tough Wg Cdr Keith Kaufmann, one of six Australian brothers serving in the armed forces.
