Re: Vickers Warwick BV386

Hello Andy,

Apologies, neglected to mention:-

Warwick I BV368 - 280 Sqn. - Missing on ASR search over North Sea. Presumed shot down by Me 410s, 8/10/1944.

Same ref.

It looks as if the crew of BV368 were rescued, and the crew of BV290 were lost.

1394986 Sgt Leonard FINCH RAFVR +
133951 F/O Albert MASON RAFVR +
154783 F/O Colin John SWANN RAFVR +

All commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial.

No.280 Sqn losses, matched by the following claims:

8/10/1944 - Fhj.Fw. Wehrmann - Seenotgr.80 - Wellington - 6413: 500m
