Wellington T2873 landed at Sicily 21.11.1940
Hi all,
I would like to ask if anyone could confirm me the real fate of this plane.
Its crew was:
S/Ldr N. P. Samuels, DFC,
F/Lt A. J. Payn,
P/O J. C. Watson,
W/O C. W. Evans
Sgt W. Wynn
Passgeners:
AM O. T. Boyd, CB, OBE, MC, AFC
F/Lt J. F. Leeming
All became POW.
According to the newpsapers from 1940 it is uncler as there are two possibilities:
- navigational error and lack of fuel on way to Malta
- navigational error on way to Malta and action of Italian fighter who forced them to land.
Which of these possibilities was the real one?
TIA
Pavel
