Re: RAF Losses Western France 7 Aug 41

Thanks Henk

Yes I have this info too! I think I was clutching at straws as they say in the UK, to try and fit two crew members that Chris has a photo off to the crew of P4832.

My thinking the other evening was that as they were actually seen to ditch and get out and stand on the wing (rather than crash into the sea) about 12 miles off Cherbourg, could they have got to land somehow and died from exhaustion after arriving?

At one time I thought there was a possibility that they were picked up by an He59 which in turn was shot down with them on board, especially as Ginger Lacey claimed a He59 on 17th July 1941 (though no loss of such an aircraft was recorded in LW records).

I will just have to accept that they just drowned or died of exposure
