Hawke's Bay Airman Had Outsize Bomb
t Special to “Northern Advocate ”] HASTINGS, This Day.
The New Zealand airman who dropped one of the heaviest calibre bombs so far delivered in raids over Germany and occupied territory, during the raid on Munich this week, was Flight-Lieutenant Lloyd Coleman, son of Mrs H. M. Coleman, of Havelock North, and the late Lieutenant Coleman, who was killed in the last war. A description of the dropping of the bomb was given in a recent broadcast and in Press cables, and it was attributed to a “New Zealand flight-lieu-tenant whose home is in Hawke's Bay.” Mrs Coleman was advised by cablegram to listen in to Daventry news, and . she was delighted to hear her son’s voice.
Flight-Lieutenant Coleman is aged 22. He was called up for service last December.
