Hallo again Martin

This was a Sterling III coded BU-T belonging to 214Sq. The crew was
Sgt J J Egan RAAF
Sgt F J North
P/O P H Liddle
Sgt D E Alford
Sgt L Martin
Sgt V H Archer
Sgt J Dodd
Take off was at 23.15H from Chedburgh and the crash occured at Unna, 15km ENE of Dortmund. They were all buried on June 2nd in the Hauptfriedhof (Am Gottesacker) and later moved to Reichswald Forest War Cemetary.

17 pilots from various sub-units of NJG 1 claimed in all 23 victories that night. It is difficult to be exact as to who of them that claimed this kill.
To be able to determine that I guess we have to know at what time the loss occured (Chorley does not give that), and also try to determine the
crash site in relation to all the claims submitted. But one should be aware that exact position was NOT foremost in the mind of the Hunters and in many instances the victim tried to escape by twisting and turning, and the crash may not have taken place in the normal inbound/outbound route
chosen that night.

Not much perhaps, but perhaps someone else knows more?

Cheers
STig
