Dear All !

Does somebody have more on the circumstances of the following
RAF 10 Sqn loss?:

22.-23.10.1943 Mission: Kassel

Halifax 10 Sqn
Serial JB974
Code ZA-T
Pilot: Wilkinson, Herbert Henry Vincent
Crash site: 58099 Hagen-Helfe, Germany

I have a letter of my grandmother stating to have watched
supposedly a german nightfighter to have downed
an allied bomber on that given night over her small village west to Hamm
at industrial 'Ruhr district' with the allied bomber "crashing far to the south", which could be the crew above that crashed at Hagen-Helfe.

Does somebody particularly have the german KE reports on JB974 or any other
infos on that crash (I have crew names and a crash site photo from
a website).
Strangely Hamm and Hagen were not really
on the planned mission track in/out of this RAF bomber mission !

thanks to everybody,
FrankieS
