I take it you meant No.205 Group.

Probably yes, they were the Group with Wellington squadrons in the Mediterranean.

Hello,

May not be the one but Wellington "C" of 150 Squadron was lost on the 31st August 1943 while on a raid Torre Annunziata.
Four crew W/O. P. Birch; Sgt R.D.Binks; Sgt. P.G. Furlong and Sgt. J. Hallsworth. All killed. Did a fifth crewmember survive ?

a/c serial number might be HE951
AB HA100-HZ999 has date as 30th Aug 43.

However, other losses in Aug 43 given as 2 a/c on 6th; 1 a/c on 26th. These may be matched up as HF466 and HF535 given as the 7th and HF693 given as the 27th.

These serial numbers are the closest I could find.
