1) "Wellington IA N2936. Shot down by fighters and crash-landed on Borkum Island (Germany) about 1.45 p.m. Sergeant T. W. Holley and Corporal F. J. Taylor both killed in fighter attacks, Sergeant H. Ruse, Sergeant T. May, and Leading Aircraftsman H. A. Jones all captured. Aircraft LF*J a write-off."

Plus several others that landed damaged back at British bases.

Who can help?
