Re: 428 Wellington(s) lost 8/9 April 1943 Duisburg ?

Bill/Henk. This info comes from the 428 Sq ORB. There are two photos of this aircraft in Larry Milberry's book, stating that the aircraft is HE-158. Unfortunately the fabric that would of contained the serial number is torn away. In AIR 14/3460 "Damage to aircraft by the enemy, it also states that it is HE-158 coded NA-Y. "right code wrong serial". Also looking ahead, HE-239 again starts to fly as NA-L to Frankfurt on April 10/11,1943. I do not think they could of repaired the damage that quickly.
Obviously a problem in the ORB's.
