Re: Hampden crew claimed e/a probable 5/6 August 1940

Hi again Brian,

This concerned Hampden P4400 of 61 Squadron, captained by P/O De Mestre. According to the ORB: Both his rear gunners came into action and though the aircraft was not seen to crash it went vertically down in such manner as to make it seem probable that it was shot down.

And just in case Peter pops up: it concerned Sgt Boyle and Sgt Paton, listed in this sequence so Sgt Boyle may have been W/Op and Sgt Paton AG.

Regards,
Hans
