Hi Chris

HR133

Lt. Engebrigtsen RNorNAS
Lt. O G Jonassen RNorNAS

On a transit flight between Wick and Sumburgh the Mosquito was attacked by Spitfires and shot down into Auskerry Sound, near Stronsay, Orkney. The crew were thrown clear by the impact and Lt. Engebrigtsen grabbed the injured navigator but could not keep him afloat and was forced to let him go under. Eventually the pilot was rescued by an air sea rescue launch.
Code may be N.

Regards
Ross
