Re: Aircrew lost at sea and buried as unknown

Hello Larry,
If this info is correct ?
http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co...ntry.php?id=68
Then would they have flown over to the other side of the Channel ?
Surly they would have stayed on the English coast for such a flight ?
This report via RAF Commands forum seems to suggest they did, seen on the aircraft in the sea some 25 miles off the Dorset coast ?

In which case if the aircraft went into the sea and they left the aircraft it would be possible that eventually they would have drifted across to the "Enemy" coast .
Has any trace of the aircraft ever been found ?
Alex
