Kangaroo mascot Sergeant Dennis Bunner
In Storage Aircraft & Exhibits
This hand made kangaroo and joey mascot belonged to bomb aimer Sergeant Dennis Bunner, who flew on Lancasters with No. 467 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force.
Between June and December 1944, Dennis and his crew completed a tour of 29 bombing operations over France and Germany. They were attacked by night fighters twice and suffered critical mechanical failures, but all 7 crewmen completed the tour uninjured. The kangaroo has been signed by Dennis' six crewmates, all but two of whom were Australian.
