Re: Loss of LM 258, 218 Sqn, 25.08.1944.
Larry,
This Lancaster was seen by an RN, ASR vessel on station 3 miles off Felixstowe, and by several witness on shore, flying on both starboard engines,
it had its wheels down and this lead people to assume that the pilot was looking for somewhere to attempt a landing, finding none he turned to port, out to sea and crashed about 800-1000 yards off shore.
The question is, could he have turned to starboard and possibly made it to the emergency landing ground a Woodbridge, about 6-8 miles away, we will never know.
