149 Squadron July 1940

Hi guys

Another for the experts!

On the night of 19/20 July, the crew of a 149 Squadron Wellington claimed two night fighters shot down (according to Larry Donnelly's The Other Few

I've a copy of 149's ORB for July, and it gives no indication of which crew. Can anyone help, please?

Cheers
Brian

Hi Brian

It seems claims were made by 2 crews.

3 Group Appendices
Captain Sgt Sayers: Attacked by ME.110 over North Sea at 14000' E.A. believed shot down.
Captain F/O G-Jones: Attacked by ME.110 over North Sea on outward journey. Burst by rear gunner point blank range. E.A. dived towards sea.

Cheers
Peter

Many thanks Peter

I've now been able to establish crews/serial numbers etc, but now seek more on Sgt Sayers and his gunner Sgt Cannon (Wellington R3164).

Does anyone have first names/initials for these two?

Cheers
Brian
