Re: Wellington ditching - Berlin op info sought

I can only add that the sortie must have been in mid 1941 or later as proper ASR vessels were only around from about July 1941.

Also if the ASR was able to rescue the crew they must have been in ASR range of the UK when they ditched and if anyone can say what the range of an ASR was then that will help.

I had a look in Bomber Command Losses for 1940-41 - Nothing there that matches.

As for 1942 this was a year for 1,000 bomber raids etc but none to Berlin so have a look in BCL for 1943, about the last year when Bomber Command used Wellingtons
