On the night of 15th/16th March, 1944, the aircraft in which he was despatched on an operational mission to Stuttgart was so severely damaged by enemy action that the crew was ordered to bail out. Before abandoning the aircraft, however, he successfully transmitted a distress message to Base. From this ordeal, Flight Sergeant Jezzard made a successful escape from enemy occupied territory and on return to this country he immediately applied to be returned to his squadron for operational duty. Since his return in August, 1944, he has operated against many heavily defended German targets and has successfully completed several important mining missions. His resourcefulness in emergency and his determination and disregard of personal safety in face of danger is an inspiration to all and is worthy of recognition I strongly recommend an award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.` 1501713 Signaller 2 Peter Jezzard, D.F.M., a native of Prestwich, Manchester; served as a Cadet, No. 183 (1st Prestwich) Squadron A.T.C., prior to Second War service with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve; posted for training to No. 2 Radio School, Yatesbury, April 1943; after additional training at 26 O.T.U. and undertaking a conversion course on Stirlings at 1665 Conversion Unit, posted for operational flying as Wirless Operator to 622 Squadron (Stirlings and Lancasters), Mildenhall, November 1943; intially carried out 8 operational sorties with the squadron including: the Frisian Isles; Bayonne; Berlin; Schweinfurt; Augsburg, 29.2.1944, `Combat with Ju 88. Searchlights and Flak` (Log Book refers); Stuttgart (2), including 15.3.1944, when in Lancaster I LL828 JI-J piloted by Flight Sergeant P.A. Thompson, `T/o 1720 Mildenhall. Last heard on W/T at 0141 transmitting "Baling Out". Reports from the crew tell of attacks from night-fighters and from a fix taken of the wireless message it is likely the engagement took place SE of Rouen in France` (Royal Air Force Bomber Command Losses of the Second World War refers); of the crew of seven, four (including Jezzard) managed to evade capture, whilst the remaining members were taken POW; Sergeant T.J. Maxwell, one of those to evade capture, gives the following account: `The thing about bailing out, in total darkness at night, from a crippled aircraft or splashing your 25 ton Lancaster into a raging sea swell was that you didn`t get any practice lessons beforehand, so it was a bit of a new thing. The nearest one got was about a year before was jumping off the top diving board in the warm water and brightly lit baths in Brighton in a flying suit and Mae West. Then the water had loads of noisy laughter and PT life-saving instructors to help if one got into difficulty. It was 1.30 in the morning and pitch black, the top board was about 8,000 feet vibrating and descending rapidly, and spewing fuel and oil from ruptured tanks. No friendly life-savers etc, but the reality that our fuel was being exhausted even faster than calculated had now replaced the `ditching` idea and bailing-out (and pretty soon at that) was the only option left. We, or certainly I was already well into a personal life saving preservation situation. I was personally totally disenchanted when the channel rowing excercise in total darkness was muted as a possibility. I never found the idea of hitting the English Channel at 100mph in total darkness, with sea and swell conditions unknown, and with an indeterminate amount of fuel, to be in the least appealing... Six of the crew all landed in an area 40 miles North East of Rouen and all reasonably close, within a kilometre or so of each other, but when they left the aircraft I was already on the way down some 20 kilometres further back, representing several minutes. The reason for their delay will never be known, but after 57 years almost to the day it has been established that the aeroplane crashed within a couple of miles from where some of the crew were taken POW. Of the four who returned to England on May 22nd on a DC3 from Gibraltar to Bristol (Whitchurch) I only met up later with Peter Jezzard. Both of us returned to operational flying with our original Squadron 622, Peter finishing his `tour` in November 1944 on 35 `trips` and myself on 32, finishing on New Year`s Day 1945` (Interview carried out in 2002 refers). Another member of the crew, Sergeant F. Harmsworth, gives the following account from the time after the crew had landed: `Later I met a schoolteacher who got me a change of clothes and temporary, false ID papers. He took me to a small rail station and there I bumped into my Wireless Operator Peter Jezzard. With barely a wink of recognition, we were on the train; the Frenchman [Maquis] up front, Pete in the middle, and me at the back of the coach. The train was straffed enroute by the R.A.F. guns so we hopped off the train and headed for a ditch. Later, we hopped back on the train and carried on to Paris. We got to the train station and it was very crowded with local Parisians, plus hundreds of German troops. We left the station and kept the same order of 20 ft. apart. After an hour we arrived at an apartment block and met the teacher`s cousin, a vivacious, 20 year old girl, Madeline Vuillemont, who lived with her parents... I was moved across Paris on the metro to the East End... A couple of days after I arrived, trusty John took me to a large store in town, where I stood in line with locals and stood next to German soldiers to get my picture taken in a booth... After 2 days, with good police connections, I received back my French I.D. card with other documents all duly signed and rubber-stamped... They found out it was my 20th birthday, so one night, a sign was put on the door that said, "closed for a family party." View Terms & Conditions
