Re: SS BETSWOOD crew 'shot down' enemy aircraft
Hi Brian, S.S.. BETSWOOD was built in 1936 for the FRANCE. FENWICK & CO to carry coal between ports on the north east coast and London and English channel ports. For information about an aircraft being shot down try getting in touch with the local paper SUNDERLAND ECHO as they should have details about it, also try the TYNE & WEAR Archives. Just a small note about BETSWOOD it completed the most trips in convoys between the north east and the English channel ports the convoys were nicknamed the coalscuttle brigade. Hope this helps. peter.r
