Re: Two unidentified Wellington losses 30-31 May 1942 Köln raid

Hello Theo,
Have looked again at BCL vol 3 (1942) and vol 7 (OTU's 1940/47).

The following Wellingtons may be of interest.
Wellington Ic - R1065 - 11 OTU - 5 crew POW. (vol 7 gives bomb load).Crash place ?
Wellington Ic - W5586 - 15 OTU - 1 crew KIA (vol 7 1 crew Evd), 4 crew POW.Crash place ?
Wellington Ic - L7802 - 25 OTU - 6 crew POW. a/c abandoned following fire in stbd motor.( vol 7 gives crash place as Elsloo,(Limburg) 5km SW of Geleen, Holland.
Wellington III - Z1612 - 101 Sqn - 5 crew POW. evaded night fighter engines failed, crew baled. Crash place ?

Maybe the BCL website has more details ?
Good hunting,
Alex
