Dear all,

Who can help me with the serial number of a 70 Squadron Wellington that was lost during the 29-30 January 1943 raids by 17 Wellingtons and Halifaxes on Catania and Messina?

Cheers and thanks for any help, Theo

Hi Theo

70 Sqn Wellington Ic DV484 ‘Q’ left for Catania and shot down; Flt Lt B.H.McMichael five KiA.

There were at least 2 Flak claims that night as well as Patuschka's.

Cheers
