Re: BOAC Mosquito G-AGGG
Hello Alex,
Wegmann & Widfeldt's two vol "Making for Sweden" has something on this a/c.
and vol 1 gives details of all BOAC a/c operated from Bromma.looks like this a/c made at least 21 flights from the UK to Sweden between June and October 43.
RAF serial HJ721, constructors number 98743.
Not a good flight for any passenger as they had to lay flat in the bomb bay some had problems with the oxygen supply. This as was an earlier fata lcrash(G-AGGF) was a night flight.
The passenger Rogers may have been an escapee/interned in Sweden or may have had some other duty, as his name is not connected to any US a/c that came down in Sweden in 1943.Only one with the RAF a MUG Sgt N. J. Rogers MIA in the crew of Manchester L7387 49 Sqdn 20th June 42. The first two passengers were flown in June 43. The time fits in with the transporting of those involved with the nuclear stuff.
If Rogers is not at rest somewhere in Scotland he would most likely be at Brookwood or Cambridge, otherwise me may have been returned to the USA. Do you know if he was a serviceman or civilian ?
All for now
Alex
