Hi Nick and others,

The bomber crews used to fly back in a continuous stream in that part of the war, that's why there is a good chance of reports from other crews.

I've checked the raid plot in the Interception and Tactics Reports (AIR14/3743) and there is a small flag near Schiermonnikoog on that map, indicating that something has happened there.

Richard, what is your source for the fact that the Wellington crew was taken ashore at the German Isle of Borkum?
My source is the German Kriegsgefangenen Kartei (POW card index). Two crew members were captured at sea near the Wieringermeer, a third in the Wieringermeer polder.

Regards,
Hans
