You may be interested in(or pass on to the family) this description of Len Clutterbuck written by his fellow Lancaster bomber crew member, Bomb Aimer Philip Pochailo. There is also a description of the final mission at this website: http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/collections/hrp/hrp_detail/2222#tran
Regards,
Andrew Reilly,
son of the pilot.
From Philip Pochailo's book "Then & Now 1944-2004".
Sergeant Len (Leonard) Clutterbuck: "The Navigator was Len Clutterbuck, and he was good. Len was young and full of the devil, but when it came to navigation he was one of the best and always did his job well. He was handsome and debonair and always ready for a good time."

Thanks, Slowhands. That's valuable information which I personally didn't have before, and I've passed the details on in the family in case the others hadn't either. Len Clutterbuck's son and widow are still in Lydney.
