On
August 12, Robert Chester-Master will travel from Sydney to Bavegem,
Belgium, 60 years after he first arrived there by parachute. Like
five of his mates who were part of a seven-man Commonwealth crew
with No. 514 Squadron, the former tail gunner owes his life to
Flight Sergeant John Lawrie, of the RNZAF, who was killed in the
crash of their Lancaster bomber but ensured the safety of his
crew as they bailed out over occupied Europe.
