Re: BOAC Mosquito G-AGGG
According to the Bromma airport log, G-AGGG was one among four Mosquitos that departed from Bromma on 25 October 1943. The departure times were:
G-AGGD - 18:15
G-AGGH - 18:53
G-AGGG - 19:01
G-AGGE - 19:10
According to my sources they got problems with the port engine over Skagerrak after 360km flight from Bromma and continued on one engine. The aircraft hit the ground 1000 meters from Leuchars. My sources doesn't locate the crash site as Tentsmuir though.
A quick search on the net tells me that Haug is buried ar Skjee Churchyard, Stokke, Norway. Hamre was most probably also brought back to Norway and buried there after the war.
I have done a lot of research on the BOAC flights to Stockholm in British, Norwegian and Swedish archives, for a book on the subject (as well as Swedish and American flights). I would thus be very interested in exchanging information.
