Re: Info on Hampden FL in Holland 1940; 61 SQ QRoP
Dear Larry,
Of the known Hampdens that were captured more or less intact by the Germans, P2070 VN-X of 50 Sqn was lost on 25th/26th August 1940. It ran out of fuel and landed at Lautersheim on a sortie to Berlin.
P4324 QR-P of 61 Sqn also ran out of fuel as related above and landed on Vlieland Island.
L4146 similarly coded QR-P, AE265 of 144 Sqn PL-? and AT109 UB-C of 455 Sqn were also captured intact.
NB - If you PM me your email I can send some photos that for some reason refuse to attach on this thread!
