Description

De Protestantse Begraafplaats van Oudewater bevat de graven van zeven vliegeniers uit het Gemenebest die gesneuveld zijn op 10 april 1943.

Gedurende de nacht van 9 op 10 april 1943 steeg de Lancaster ED502 WS-V (Barbara Mary) op vanaf RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire in Engeland. Het toestel behoorde tot No.9 Squadron van RAF Bomber Command. Op de weg terug naar de basis werd de Lancaster neergeschoten door Hauptmann Hans-Dieter Frank van 2./NJG 1. Het was zijn 21e overwinning. De ED502 crashte om 23:45 bij Snelrewaard, drie kilometer ten oosten van Oudewater.

Het vliegtuig nam deel aan de aanval op Duisburg die nacht. In totaal werden 104 Lancasters en 5 Mosquitos naar het doel gestuurd. Als gevolg van zware bewolking werd de aanvalsmacht verspreid. 8 Lancasters gingen verloren.
