andy bird is an unknown quantity at this point
13 August 1943 10 OTU Det. Z9300

Having been part of a large ASR search in the Bay, ten minutes after 1600 hours due to port engine trouble the Whitley ditched.

Sgt F Boyd
Sgt W G Wishart
Sgt T Parker
Sgt R F Crouch
Sgt A J Hendry

The crew were picked up from their dinghy three days later by a RN destroyer.

Could anyone let me know if the rescue report exists or perhaps the RN destroyer name?

Many Thanks

Andy Bird
