Vickers Wellington B Mark IV, Z1479 ‘GR-A’, of No. 301 Polish Bomber Squadron RAF based at Hemswell, Lincolnshire, lying on the shore off Dornumergrode, Germany, after being hit by anti-aircraft fire while over the target area during the second ‘Thousand bomber’ raid on Bremen at 2.30am on 26 June 1942. The crew survived and were made prisoners of war. The aircraft’s armament and propellers have been removed. The German personnel gathered round the cockpit are members of the Luftwaffe’s 8th (Motorised) Flak Division, for whom this aircraft was the 34th victim - See more at: http://ww2today.com/25th-june-1942-t....nStj2P06.dpuf
