[Carl-Fredrik Geust]

Thank you Laurent for the correction concerning Lt.Col. Nikolai Vedmedenko (C.O. 24 MTAP), who as you correctly point out was killed 16 March 1943 in an unsuccessful landing with an Il-4 (DB-3f) at Kildin island, upon return from a torpedo attack to Bosjord. The other crew members were only slightly hurt.
I do have this entry as well in my Soviet loss file, and did unfortunately not compare (and delete) my erroneous Hampden entry for 21 Dec 1942. According to my notes the source of this entry is the unpublished history of VVS SF in the Russian naval archive in Gatchina, which I visited in the 1990s.
