Re: British bomber loss over Germany on 17.08.40
Henk & Col.,
Now we've got it. This board came through again! Can anybody now provide a/c codes or partial codes on this one (I believe SQ code would be OJo?), along with crew names and their positions? My copy of Bomber Command losses is out being digitized at present, and Peter C. hasn't yet gotten to this one for our EOE British all-source & theater Air Loss DB for 1939-40. He's undertaken a huge task and having these settled in advance with good photos greatly speeds up his work and diminishes his brain damage, something that I greatly support.
While posting this new info in the DB, I note that I have photos of another 149 SQ Wellington, with just the badly crashed rear fuselage intact carrying the code OJoA, and the info that this was during 1940. I know that many Wellingtons might have carried that code over the years, but does this ring a bell with anyone? No SN is visible that I can see. The photos shows the remains in open agricultural country or possibly on a beach, I'm not sure which.
Regards,
