Queries re. three Bomber Command losses 31 July-1 August 1942
 
Dear all,

I am currently working on some new (Flak & NJ claims) material for the night of 31 July-1 August 1942 (Düsseldorf Raid). This may shed new light on three Bomber Command losses on this night:

-14 OTU Hampden P1185. Question: where & when exactly did this a/c crash (in the vicinity of Oostende).
-14 OTU Hampden L4117. Question: where & when was this a/c hit by Flak and attacked by night fighters?
-44 Squadron Lancaster L7537. Question: what is the crash location, and the time of crash, of this a/c?

Who has additional info for me on these three losses?

Cheers and thanks for any details, Theo
