Re: Photo of destroyed Wellington, Greece

Alex,

thank you very much for your answer. The aircraft is probably T2607, 37 SQN, on 21st February 1941. The book "Bomber Losses" reports:

"T2607/The undercarriage collapsed during t/o from a water logged airfield at Paramythia, when returning to Menidi after a supply dropping mission."

I remember this photo seen in a book relative to the air war in Greece but NOT the well known "Air War over Greece etc"... I thought it was in Pattle's biography book "Ace of Aces" but it doesn't seem to be there as I asked someone who has this book to drop an eye, he said he found nothing... Too pity I didn't even keep at least the source of the photograph...
