On the night of 30/31 May 1942, O for Orange, a Wellington bomber with five crew took off from RAF Graveley, near Huntingdon. As part of ‘Operation Millennium’ its target was Cologne, for the very first 1000 bomber raid. For the crew, including pilot Warrant Officer Fred Hillyer, it would be their first and only mission. Hear an interview with his daughter Lynda about his time as a POW, and his life post-war.
